Future-Proof Your Business Leadership.
Removing a company director is rarely as straightforward as many business owners expect. Where a director is also a shareholder and employee, a disagreement can quickly become a complex legal issue.

In this week's Future Proof Actions video, Joanna Moroney, Corporate & Commercial Legal Director at Phillips Law, explains how removing a director involves more than a board decision.

Changes to unfair dismissal compensation coming into effect in January 2027 mean that businesses must plan ahead.

If your business is facing a founder or board-level dispute, understanding your legal position early can help reduce risk and protect the future of the company.

Join Team Phillips at the Basingstoke Half Marathon 10k & 5k

Ready to take on a new challenge while supporting a fantastic local cause?

Join Team Phillips at this year's Destination Basingstoke Festival of Running, featuring the Half Marathon, 10K, 5K and children's races.

By signing up with Team Phillips, you will receive free race entry in return for raising funds for our Charity of the Year, Victoria's Promise, which provides vital support to young women living with cancer.

For returning runners, you may notice that this is a new feature of the Team Phillips ticket. The donations are tiered, so the minimum for the ½ marathon is £30, for the 10K it’s £20, and for the 5K it’s £10. As usual, the kids' races are always free.

Every donation goes directly to Victoria's Promise and is still only a fraction of the standard race entry fee. It's a wonderful way to take part while helping a local charity continue its invaluable work supporting young women with cancer and their families.

Whether you are chasing a personal best, running your first race, or taking part with family and friends, there's an event for everyone.

Last year, more than 100 runners joined Team Phillips. We would love to see even more people on the start line this year.
