The managing director of a GmbH (limited liability company) is liable on the basis of their executive role. This function comes with rights and obligations.
If the managing director exceeds the restrictions imposed by law, directives and annual general meeting, or the restrictions in a partnership agreement or articles of association, or breaches their duty of care, they can be held liable.
Ignorance does not protect you from the law
The obligations and liability risks as well as strategies to avoid them are explained in Margit Bollenbegrer's book.
