Directors Duties Training Manual
US$2499
The Problem
You need to ensure that your directors know what they are doing and what legal obligations they are under....
Related challenges include:
- Directors carry personal legal duties from day one
- Most startup directors have never been formally trained
- “Good judgment” is not a defence when things go wrong
- Directors often don’t know what they don’t know
- Governance failures surface only when it’s too late
- There is no budget for formal director training programmes
- External legal advice is reactive, fragmented, and expensive
- Founders still need directors to move fast — not slow the business downthere is no budget for training
You need directors who can make decisions confidently without exposing themselves - or the company - to avoidable risk.
The GLS Solution
GLS Directors’ Duties Training Manual™ is a comprehensive, plain‑English guide to what the law actually expects of directors - and how directors can meet those expectations safely, confidently, and professionally.
It sets out a clear, globally informed “best practice” standard for directors, translating complex legal duties into practical governance actions that directors can apply in real boardroom and operational scenarios.
The Manual is written and structured by world‑class governance and regulatory lawyers, but deliberately designed so that it is:
- easy to read,
- easy to navigate, and
- practical enough that directors will actually use it.
Rather than abstract legal theory, the Manual focuses on how directors should behave, decide, document, and govern in practice. It covers, in a highly applied way, areas including:
- board and shareholder meetings,
- standards of conduct and behaviour,
- conflicts of interest and independence,
- data protection and cyber‑risk,
- compliance and regulatory exposure,
- personal and long‑tail director liabilities, and
- practical checklists and tools to support decision‑making.
For founders, this matters.
As a founder, you are responsible for ensuring that every director understands what is expected of them under the law, and how to discharge those duties without exposing themselves - or the company - to unnecessary risk.
