Description

Join our practical webinar to master corporate trustee governance, from recent case law to drafting constitutions, and gain insights on director liability, shareholder considerations, and more. Conclude with a comprehensive Q&A session and an in-depth paper to guide your decisions.

HAJ Ford once referred to corporate trustees “as a commercial monstrosity” that derived from “… the fruit of this union of the law of limited liability companies and trust law.” Nonetheless, the use of corporate trustees has grown and is now commonplace.

Topics covered in this practical webinar, which will be accompanied by a comprehensive paper and will conclude with a question-and-answer session, include:

• Determining whether a corporate trustee is appropriate by reference to recent case law and trust terms
• Appropriate directors – and how many
• Trustee indemnities and director liability
• Shareholder considerations
• Appropriate alignment of shareholder rights and powers of appointment
• Drafting an appropriate constitution
• Dealing with the death of a director or shareholder
• Corporate trustee governance
