Corporate Governance 2013
The Dodd-Frank Act has spurred far-reaching and profound change in corporate governance and disclosure for public companies. And more changes are on the way as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission continues to issue more rules and begins to enforce them.
Plan to join us now for this one-day conference designed to assess the changes to date, their impact on the 2013 proxy season and what can be expected in the coming months. Our panel of experts, drawn from both inside counsel and law firms, will address such issues as compensation committees and compensation disclosure; audit committees and their responsibilities, whistleblowers, internal investigations, insider trading initiatives and more.
Key focal points of the event will zero-in on:
Best practices that private companies should consider
Best public company practices that private companies should consider
Duty of care and building a record of deliberative decision making
Litigation activity in 2013
Venture capital backed businesses
Investor dominated boards
Conflicts, "pay to play", and disinterested decisions
Significant investors and the inevitable conflicts that arise
Private company M&A Activity
The special case of family-held businesses
Sponsors
