Event Synopsis:

Directors and officers (D&Os) face liability exposure, including fines, penalties and damages, as they perform their ever-increasing duties and obligations. The Sarbanes Oxley Act and other U.S. regulations intensify D&Os’ susceptibility to litigation risk when found to be in noncompliance. With the U.S. government’s vigorous investigation and prosecution of corporate wrongdoing, and its intent to hold both entities and individuals responsible, complex issues surrounding D&O liability exposure increase.

Amidst the government’s aggressive investigation and stern enforcement pattern, companies should also pay close attention to the D&O insurance coverage. They must ensure that the coverage is adequate to meet the company's needs in a time of crisis.

This course offers an overview of the latest trends and legal insights on D&O liability exposure. A panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will help company D&Os understand and utilize these trends in strategizing best practices to avoid risks and other legal challenges.

Key topics include:

• D&O Liability Trends

• Notable Cases

• Recent Regulatory Updates

• D&O Insurance Coverage

• Best Risk Mitigation Practices
