My latest article in @BusinessMoney explores the recent Supreme Court decision in Mitchell v Sheikh Al Jaber and how #directors #duties subsist even after #liquidation and how the court should calculate awards for breach of #fiduciary duty.

"Although short, at 99 pages, this is a clear concise overview of contract law. I’m doing cilex and am using this book to reinforce my knowledge. Easy to understand and follow, and gain the basics of contract law." https://t.co/apIDb2BGr3

With the latest government figures showing the highest number of compulsory liquidations since 2012, what better time to add "Corporate Insolvency Practice" to your library? Practical and packed with precedents, it is an essential "how to do it" guide. https://t.co/Vub1V0vjFA

We must ensure that young people develop soft, financial and entrepreneurial abilities alongside excellent subject knowledge, so that they are sufficiently equipped for the workforce and are attractive to employers. 😊

What fun! Invited to the launch at the House of Commons for the World Record attempt for the longest Tiramisu at Chelsea Old Town Hall on 26 April. Even better, those calories come with a clear conscience as each slice you buy raises money for @esharelife charity!

So excited to meet with Ambassador Ertas and to learn how important Anglo-Turkish trade relations remain since they first started in 1583. Poignant for me too as great-grandson of William Watson, Chairman of the Ottoman Bank, an Anglo Turkish collaboration.
