From virtual AGMs and e-signatures to AI-assisted governance, technology is streamlining business processes but also raising complex legal questions. Writing in NLJ this week, Piers Larbey and Izabella Brooks of Hunters Law LLP explore how digital transformation is reshaping corporate operations—and the legal frameworks that govern them
While legislation like the Companies Act 2006 and Electronic Communications Act 2000 supports many digital practices, gaps remain—particularly around AI use and directors’ duties. The authors warn that reliance on AI for decision-making may conflict with directors’ statutory obligations to exercise independent judgment and diligence.
They also highlight the evolving legal landscape, including reforms like the Electronic Trade Documents Act 2023 and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. As digital tools proliferate, companies must ensure their governance frameworks keep pace.
