The company is represented by the management, which organizes the work and manages the business, advocates for and represents the company and is responsible for the legality of the company’s operations. The management consists of persons who, in accordance with the law, are authorized by the memorandum of association or the articles of association of the company to conduct the business of the company. Persons authorized to represent shall be entered in the register of companies.
The removal of legal representatives usually happens based on a Decision made by the founder of the company. Nevertheless, in certain cases, the founder of the company does not want or is not able to take the necessary actions to remove the registered legal representative from the Register of Companies as the legal representative of the company.
The management, i.e., the legal representatives, are responsible for the legality of the company’s operations, although – in fact – they do not perform the duties of the legal representative, but are responsible for the company’s operations. In such a situation, the registration of the legal representative makes his position more difficult in terms of finding a new job, but also in terms of tax obligations for the company, which in a certain sense reflect on the legal representative of the company, and various inspection and misdemeanor procedures that may concern the legal representative, although he does not actually perform the function of legal representative.
