ENRON, WORLDCOM, DISNEY....
What is a director's world coming to? |
On the one
hand, millions of dollars paid by directors -- FROM THEIR
PERSONAL FUNDS --- to settle allegations of improper conduct; on
the other hand, a court decision that supported
oversight by directors which led to millions of dollars in
severance payments to a short-term executive.
Join us for a presentation by Ms. Holly Gregory,
a partner in the Corporate Governance practice of Weil,
Gotshal & Manges
and advisor to public and private boards, as she
disseminates the latest information and perspectives on
the Disney and Enron situations in order to provide
guidance for individual directors and officers.
|
|
Ms. Gregory’s presentation will include the
following key issues that were addressed by the
court in Disney:
- What
is the current state of the business judgment
defense for director actions?
- Do
charter provisions prohibiting recovery of money
damages for directors for duty of care claims
provide a safe haven?
- Is
there a separate director's duty of good faith in
addition to the duties of care and loyalty?
- Can
directors rely on outside advisors? Must they
follow their advice?
- How
do directors cope with "the Imperial CEO"?
|
