Directors Disqualification

Being disqualified from acting as a director can have dramatic consequences for any professional. It can prohibit any involvement in the running or decision making process of a company, whether directly or indirectly. Continued involvement in the running of a company after disqualification can lead to imprisonment. It is vital to take early control of the situation.
