Directors Disqualification, Glasgow

If you are a director of a company and are facing director disqualification, you must act quickly. This will help to maximise your options and may help limit any disqualification period if it happens.

As set out by the Company Directors Disqualification Act, the maximum disqualification period is 15 years. This would have a massive impact on your career.

Working with the right solicitors can help to eliminate the risk of disqualification or minimise the disqualification period.

Disqualification of directors – the process

Generally, the Insolvency Service deals with the disqualification of directors.

The process begins with a letter from the Insolvency Service or their solicitors, letting you know that they are going to begin proceedings.

It is vital that you don’t ignore pre-action correspondence. It will spell out the time period you have to show why the director disqualification is not in the public interest.

Working with an experienced solicitor is very important. They will help you produce clear and coherent arguments.

We will also help to gather any supporting evidence and highlight any issues with the other side’s evidence that could help your case.

Many director disqualification proceedings are abandoned because of problems with the other side’s evidence.

If the proceedings do go through, we have the experience and knowledge to negotiate a lower disqualification period or even to obtain court orders allowing you to continue as a director when disqualified.

So if you are facing director disqualification, contact Jones Whyte today.
