Shadow Director Contract Guidance

Summary

A shadow director is someone whose instructions the actual directors follow, and they are subject to the same duties and liabilities as formally appointed directors under UK law. A shadow director contract should outline roles, responsibilities, confidentiality, liabilities, and duration. When adding a third shadow director, update definitions, roles, confidentiality, liabilities, and include a signature section. For specific contract drafting, consulting a qualified attorney is recommended.
