The Regulatory Pendulum – What Pro-Active General Counsel Must Know
Prosecutorial and regulatory interest in investigating and prosecuting companies continues to increase in intensity and have far reaching consequences for entities under scrutiny. The breadth, scope and intensity of this activity creates substantial challenges for those who manage public companies’ legal and compliance functions. In light of these developments, this panel will consider topics relating to understanding and responding to governmental investigations, such as:
- Managing the legal function during governmental investigations
- Coordinating responses to governmental investigations and related civil litigation
- Corporate governance issues faced by companies under investigation
- Financial reporting issues raised by investigations
- Lessons from the front and what they mean for future prosecutorial and regulatory actions
- Consideration of privilege waiver in the wake of the McNulty Memo and changes at the SEC
