Corporate Governance
Corporate Governance Playbook A practical guide to Irish company decisions and the clauses behind them.
You’ve been asked to prepare board minutes, arrange a director’s appointment or draft a resolution. Where do you start? Who needs to approve it? And what should you check before anything is signed?
The Law Hero Corporate Governance Playbook helps you work through those questions, from the first instruction to the final company record.
Across 66 pages and 29 practical chapters, it explains how governance work fits together and why the recurring clauses matter. You’ll learn how to:
Prepare board meetings and write minutes that accurately record the decision.
Work through directors’ duties, interests and conflicts.
Understand board and shareholder approval routes.
Handle appointments, resignations, share changes and company records.
Separate approval, signing and release, and recognise when further checks are needed.
Identify filing triggers and organise the steps that follow a decision.
Worked fictional scenarios, practical assignments and model responses help you put the learning into practice. Clause explanations show you what a provision does, what evidence supports it and what could change if its wording were different. A glossary makes unfamiliar terminology easier to follow.
Written by Jennifer O’Sullivan, Irish solicitor, General Counsel and founder of Law Hero, this playbook is designed for trainees, junior solicitors, lawyers moving into corporate work, in-house teams and those supporting company secretarial work.
The landscape layout, two-column pages and clear visual signposting make it easy to find the task you need.
Download your copy and approach your next governance task with a clearer understanding of what needs to happen, and why.
