Directorship & Leadership

Ownership

All ownership vehicles require leadership; the most familiar is the director of a company.

There are legal requirements in place regarding suitability and eligibility to hold such positions and civil and/or criminal penalties for getting this wrong.

Martyn Fiddler provides qualified, named individuals with experience and knowledge to safeguard against breaches of ownership rules, and ensure that management and control is maintained in the correct jurisdictions and real decision making is fully documented and filed.
