Navigating the New and Rising Risks for Directors and Officers in 2011
If you are a director or officer in this challenging economy, you should know the extent to which you are protected – or not – against new and rising legal threats, including shareholder lawsuits and increasing government enforcement and recovery activities by the SEC, FDIC, and others. Not only are your organization’s assets at risk, your personal assets may be on the line because of increasingly aggressive lawsuits and enforcement activity as well as potential large gaps in protection by D&O insurance.
Join Foley Partners Ethan D. Lenz and Michael P. Matthews, Ryan Collier from the insurance and risk management firm Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., and Aaron DiRusso from financial advisors Raymond James & Associates, Inc. for insight on the new risks facing directors and officers. Experienced attorneys, insurance professionals, and investment bankers will share strategies for protecting yourself in this era of escalating risk.
Topics include:
- Financial Scandals, Changes in the Law, and the Credit Crisis: What It Means to Be a Business Leader
- The Personal Risk Associated With Being a Director or Officer
- Increasingly Vigorous Government Enforcement Activity: New Tools From Recent Legislation
- Increased Shareholder Litigation Risks to Directors and Officers
- Understanding the Scope and Potential Limitations of Your D&O Insurance Coverage
The 1.5-hour Web conference is complimentary, but pre-registration is required.
