Duties and responsibilities of directors
in Europe
With increased consolidation of business
across
Europe, executives of multi-national groups can find
that they are required to become directors of
companies in a variety of jurisdictions, often at short
notice.
The rules relating to directorships vary considerably
from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. CMS has produced a
guide that is intended to provide an overview of the
duties and responsibilities of directors across 11
jurisdictions in Europe, answering the most frequently
asked questions for directors coming from another
jurisdiction.
In many jurisdictions, there are various forms of
company available, and there are different rules for
directors according to the type of company used. This
guide focuses for each jurisdiction on the most
common form of company, and on the rules which
apply to executive/managing directors.

and responsibilities of directors across Europe, please
