Why the client needed our help
The former director of a construction company wanted our help completing a director disqualification questionnaire which had been issued as a pre-action to disqualification proceedings against him.
How we helped
Director disqualification questionnaires need to be completed carefully to avoid inadvertently harming a director’s position. We provided answers that struck a perfect balance between giving enough information to appear helpful and not giving more than was required. It is always vital to get this balance right.
Many directors, for the best of intentions, complete the forms themselves, inadvertently saying too much or saying it in such a way which comes back to be used against them. Our expert help avoided this happening.
The outcome
The Insolvency Service was satisfied with our answers and dropped all possible disqualification proceedings against our client who has since gone on to become the director of another company. Had the investigation not been dropped, he could have lost his ability to act as a director, among other consequences of disqualification.
I was greatly impressed with FWJ. Their commercial approach combined with specialist knowledge and tactical expertise was pivotal in the claim being dropped and costs recovered in full
