Directors and corporate officers
Directors' employment and tax status, dual mandate, removal from office, negotiated departure.
The approach
A director holds two distinct positions: a corporate office, revocable under company rules, and sometimes an employment contract, protected by employment law. Conflating the two at the point of departure is the costliest mistake in this area, and it is set up at the moment of appointment.
The firm therefore examines the office, the contract where one exists, the delegations of authority granted and any deferred remuneration undertakings together. That is the only way to know what will be owed, to whom, and under what procedure — before the question arises.
