The Legal Risk Score of a Company Secretary Agreement Template is Medium
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- The agreement requires the secretary to devote their full business hours exclusively to the company, which could limit the flexibility and capacity of the secretary to engage in other professional opportunities or personal pursuits during their tenure.
- The secretary's duties include significant responsibilities such as maintaining legal records and managing statutory compliance, which could pose a risk if the secretary lacks the requisite expertise or support, potentially leading to legal repercussions for the company.
- The remuneration terms are fixed and might not account for the secretary's performance or changes in economic conditions, potentially leading to dissatisfaction or financial imbalance if the market rates for such roles increase significantly.
