Director agreements cover the contract between a company and its directors, detailing terms of appointment, duties, remuneration, notice, confidentiality and post-termination restrictions. A solicitor drafts or negotiates the director’s service agreement, ensuring alignment with the Companies Act 2006, corporate governance duties, and shareholder expectations. They review provisions on termination, garden leave, share options, and designated duties, and advise on potential conflicts of interest and restraint clauses that protect the company while remaining enforceable.
