civil liability criminal designer

[levissima]

Good morning.
I would like to understand my true resposability (civil and criminal) in relation to my position in the company.
I have the designer functions in a small company, this position has never been official with
declarations signed by the company, so my qualification has always remained that of mechanical designer
Although I have been several years alone in technical office carrying out external activities at customers(reliefs),
project development, special design, supplier orders, also carrying out the workshop and going to mount some
plants.
since the company has now been sold and the new owners will make me proposals officializing my
I would like to know if possible what cautious attitudes I can request,
and what were my actual civil and criminal liability against the previous position since I never signed
no official document except drawings, was the owner only the technical manager? the new proprietary company was shareholder
50% of the old and by email it was written that any structural calculations should have carried them out.
I thank you in advance for your answer.

your job and your contract will define your responsibilities.
It's not easy to answer, I think you should hear a lawyer or a job consultant here.
Usually civilly responds the company, on the criminal side not, but depends on responsibility and skills.
Of course if they give you a calculation and sign it, you have your responsibilities.
I would feel a legal expert on these things.
Hi.
