Every company faces financial losses, mistakes made by employees, broken contracts and claims from the authorities. Not every loss, however, is a reason for the director to pay out of their own pocket — and the phrase “I gave it to the accountant” does not remove personal liability.

At this business breakfast, attorney-at-law Vladimir Sadekov goes through the legal limits of entrepreneurial risk, the areas where management and owners answer personally, the rules of safe delegation, and the steps to take during inspections and enquiries from state authorities. The discussion is built on real cases and recent court practice.

Vladimir Sadekov heads Sadekov Advokaadibüroo and has represented owners and directors in court and in dealings with the authorities for more than 20 years, specialising in business defence, economic disputes and the personal liability of senior management.

What we will cover

  • Business risk or loss: where the line runs between an unlucky decision and a lawful reason to recover money from the director.
  • Who pays: the real liability of the director, board member, accountant, contractor and owner.
  • The delegation trap: which duties cannot be handed over, and why “the accountant did it” does not help in court.
  • The interest of the state: tax disputes, sanctions risks and the point where a civil mistake becomes a criminal case.
  • First steps during an inspection: how to behave during requests, searches and questioning.
