Directors Disqualification

Disqualification Orders can be imposed on Directors of Companies to prevent such individuals from being involved in the management of Companies in the future. Such Disqualification Orders can be made in either Criminal or Civil Courts.

Breach of such a Disqualification Order is a criminal offence and such conduct may well therefore be the subject of a prosecution usually involving circumstances of an individual being a sham Director. Disqualification periods will be imposed which range from 2 to 15 years. Such proceedings can be defended and we regularly advise on such matters either as to the initial disqualification or as to defending prosecutions which follow in respect of breach of Disqualification Orders.

Such matters generally arise from companies being placed into voluntary liquidation of administrative receivership where there is a requirement for the receiver to report as to the conduct of Company Directors.

This firm is repeatedly asked to assist clients who have already, at some time, during the course of an investigation or Court proceedings instructed Solicitors.  We are used to dealing with such enquiries and advising as to the transfer of a case from previous Solicitors to this practice.  It is important to those the subject of an investigation or prosecution, that they are confident in the Solicitors that they instruct and that they consider those that act for them are doing everything they possibly can to assist.

We offer free initial legal advice, either over the phone, via e-mail or face to face if required. Please contact us using the Contact Us link or by asking our solicitors a question using the simple form above. Our initial advice is free.  You can also contact us via e-mail, text message or by telephoning the FREEPHONE number 0800 988 5124.
