Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustinDirectors and officers of companies face an array of litigation risks, from shareholder lawsuits alleging breach of fiduciary duties or securities fraud to civil or criminal enforcement actions for alleged violations of state and federal securities laws and regulations. Today, it seems any merger announcement, drop in stock price, or disclosure of "bad news" (e.g., disappointing financial results, a product recall, a regulatory inquiry, etc.) can be expected to invite litigation. Although the suites are seldom meritorious, they can be distracting and a drain on resources. Drawing on the speakers' years of practice defending against these kinds in Delaware, Texas, and federal case law, this program aims to provide directors and officers with a roadmap to protect themselves and their companies from liability and ideally nip any actions in the bud.
