The legal relationship between a company and its board of directors or executives is characterised by complexity, liability risks and high levels of capital expenditure. Mistakes made at the outset often avenge themselves years later. Particularly for listed companies subject to strong regulation, navigating the board and executive levels in a way that is legally secure is a demanding task
