CPD Webinar - When Directors are Personally Liable

1 CPD Point – Substantive Law

Limited liability companies, such as proprietary limited (Pty Ltd) are often recommended as a “safe” business structure by professional advisers. From an asset protection perspective, a limited liability company offers excellent protection for the business owners and directors.

However, there are a number of issues that should be considered when advising your clients in relation to the personal liability that directors of a company may encounter when their company fails and potentially how to minimise their personal exposure.

In this Webinar, When Directors are Personally Liable, Dino Travaglini from Travaglini Corporate Advisory, outlines what advisers and lawyers should be discussing with their clients regarding their personal financial risks as company directors.

In this Webinar, Dino will cover:

• Personal liability of directors for unpaid company taxes;
• Personal liability of directors for unpaid company superannuation;
• Nature of the personal liability owing to the ATO;
• Personal liability under the Corporations Act when a company fails, including:
  • Insolvent trading;
  • Anti-phoenixing provisions; and
  • Breach of directors duties;
• Exposure under personal guarantees;
• Personal guarantees & risks to the family home under charging clauses;
• Personal guarantees provided for building companies; and
• Director/shareholder loan accounts.

This Webinar is suitable for company directors, lawyers, accountants and other professional advisers and is pitched at an entry level. It is ideal for company directors and any professional advising on business structures for their clients.
