Liability entrepreneurs & companies

Liability of companies

Entrepreneurship is a passion that combines freedom, creativity and hard work. But there are also threats: risks, accidents, and liabilities. For example, with employees, suppliers, customers, or government agencies. In these moments, it is important to be well informed about your rights and responsibilities.

As a business owner, you want to limit risks, but you cannot eliminate all liabilities. In a business environment, it is essential to be clear about responsibilities and to have appropriate legal safeguards in place. Whether it is an employee error, an inadequate service, or an unforeseen circumstance within a business partnership, corporate liability law provides the framework for assessing and managing these risks from a legal perspective.

Risk management and prevention within corporate liability law

At Delissen Martens, we advise companies on how to prevent legal liability. We do this by carefully designing internal processes, drafting clear general terms and conditions and using well-drafted contracts. Although contract assessment is a separate specialization within our firm, it is a crucial link in the management of corporate liability. We can help you organize your business so that you are prepared for potential claims from customers, suppliers, or other stakeholders. Careful coordination of product liability agreements can play an important role.

Conflicts over corporate liability? We provide tailored legal advice.

If a claim or conflict does arise, we will be there to advise you with determination. Our liability lawyers are experienced in both litigation and out-of-court dispute resolution. Whether you are dealing with suppliers, customers or business partners, we ensure an effective and strategically sound approach.

Checklist for filing financial statements: who? what? how? when?

Checklist for filing financial statements: who? what? how? when?

Much has been written and said about the filing privilege. The Chamber of Commerce, for example, provides information about it through its website. It is not really possible to report anything new about it. However, we thought it would be useful, especially now that we are approaching the end of the year, to once again put things in compact order: who has an obligation to file, what exactly is it and what does it entail, and when must it be fulfilled. Here are the findings:

Turbo liquidation and liability director

Turbo liquidation and liability director

Turbo liquidation: how does it work again? What about the creditors? Do they really have nothing to say against it and are thus powerless? Not quite, according to a recent ruling by the North Holland District Court. Under circumstances, a director is personally liable after a turbo liquidation.
