hi everyone,

my father passed away 4 years ago. after he died, i inherit his substantial shares for the company.

after a very long discussion between the directors and me, they decided to appoint me as director. (there's a lot of gentleman's agreement between my late father and the other shareholders, too personal to write down here)

i have no experience in working as a director, i have no experience in this business.

should i hire a lawyer to help me out? the directors in the company are professional and nice people, tho

i have no idea how to negotiate on my director allowance and salary. should i demand or just accept their offer?

i am currently working with a public listed company as an editor. if im not mistaken, i have to resign if i hold a position as a director in another company, right?

any advise helps
