Legal Lifeline Ep 12 | Corporate Governance & The Role of a Company Secretary

In Episode 12 of the Legal Lifeline, Adv. Gushwell Brooks sits down with Corporate Governance Expert and Certified Ethics Officer, Benedetta Tabane, to unpack the critical legal frameworks that keep companies running. This episode demystifies the complex world of corporate boards, compliance, and executive power. Benedetta breaks down the true role of a Company Secretary (it's far more than taking minutes!), explaining how they serve as the legal backbone and primary advisors to the Board of Directors. The conversation also tackles the tough questions: Why do so many State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) struggle with compliance? What happens when a Board of Directors becomes too operational and interferes with management? And can a CEO legally fire a Company Secretary? Whether you are running a private startup, serving on a board, or just want to understand how corporate power structures legally operate, this is a masterclass you cannot miss. 🔔 Don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with the Legal Lifeline!
