The Times: director liability in the wake of the Thames Water scandal
12 June 2025
In a new article for The Times, Dan Hudson discusses the rising tide of personal liability risks facing senior executives, particularly in regulated sectors.
Anchored in the context of Ofwat’s recent £123 million fine against Thames Water, the piece explores how recent legislative and regulatory developments – most notably the Water (Special Measures) Act 2025 and the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 – are altering the dynamics of corporate accountability. Dan highlights how the instinct for corporate self-preservation may increasingly put executives in the firing line.
