2023 is looking like it will be a tough year, but some adaptable entrepreneurs and businesses are viewing the current economic climate as an opportunity. Planning strategic investments in the business and assets of distressed companies.

Often these businesses have the potential to thrive but have been affected by circumstances outside their control.

There are several advantages to this approach

  • The price can be significantly less than a traditional merger or acquisition
  • They can rapidly expand your customer base or access new markets
  • Often the pressure from debt and creditors is removed

However, there are risks and there are some things anyone considering such a move should be aware of.

Watch Stuart Mullins, Corporate Partner at Clarkslegal, share his best practises and some surprising advice with Nicky Larkin, Managing Director at Goringe Accountants on what makes a successful acquisition.

Fiduciary duties to company shareholders

Earlier this year I discussed the importance of good corporate governance following the decision in Stobart Group v Tinkler. Paramount to good corporate governance is the adherence to the directors’ duties, whether contractual or fiduciary. Given the inherent lack of tangibility of any duties with a fiduciary persuasion, directors can often be found wanting when trying to quantify and qualify the positions where such duties might be owed to their shareholders.

Importance of good corporate governance

Director’s duties are paramount to good corporate governance, as outlined by the go-to definition produced by the Cadbury Committee in 1992: “Corporate governance is the system by which companies are directed and controlled. Boards of directors are responsible for the governance of their companies. The responsibilities of the board include setting the company’s strategic aims, providing the leadership to put them into effect, supervising the management of the business and reporting to shareholders on their stewardship.”

Powers of Attorney and Corporate Transactions

The recent Judgment of the High Court in Katara Hospitality (a company incorporated in Qatar) v (1) Gerard Guez and (2) Jacqueline Rose EWHC 3063 (“Katara Hospitality”) highlights the importance of ensuring the proper and valid execution of an instrument and also serves as a timely reminder of the importance of ensuring that the scope of an instrument is expressly set out if it is to be successfully relied upon.

Discretionary right in contract

Most people would assume that, if a contract gives one party a right to do something “in its absolute discretion”, that is the end of the matter.
