Liability of corporate officers in practice: Corporate law fundamentals and common liability traps

In this episode of our Soundshot podcast, Zeno Grabmayr and Markus Aigner discuss directors' and officers' liability, a highly topical issue in company law.

Our experts explain who is affected by directors' and officers' liability (managing directors, board members, de facto managing directors and straw men) and what obligations and risks arise from it. They outline the legal basis, exceptions such as the business judgement rule, as well as liability traps in corporate crises, group financing and tax obligations.

Using prominent cases such as SIGNA, Hypo Alpe Adria and Wirecard, they illustrate how directors' and officers' liability becomes relevant in practice and what lessons companies can draw from it.
