A director we defended against a disqualification claim

Director disqualification means that an individual, if found guilty of a director disqualification offence, is banned from being a director or being involved in the formation, promotion or management of a company for a period of between 2 and 15 years.

The director disqualification legislation which deals with all aspects of director disqualification proceedings is set out in the Company Director Disqualification Act 1986. https://www.gov.uk/company-director-disqualification/

  • where an individual has been a director of a company which has entered into insolvency, that individual could face the risk of being disqualified as acting as a director for a period between 2 to 15 years;
  • this is normally as a result of allegations of some kind of misconduct by the director in the company which has since gone into liquidation.

FWJ exceeded my expectations by not only avoiding an order for my disqualification as a director but also negotiating a complete withdrawal of the prosecution. This has been such a relief and weight off my mind after many years and I am very grateful to them. I strongly recommend instructing them at the very earliest opportunity. Timely advice, realistic expectations, prioritisation and logical legal presentation were key.
