Navigating the New and Rising Risks for Directors and Officers in 2010 – 2011
The financial crisis has taken an especially high toll on Florida’s economy. If you are a director or officer in this ever-changing business environment, 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.
