This resource explains the sections of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act regarding corporate governance, executive compensation, disclosure, and other provisions that apply to public companies generally.

A roundtable discussion on the latest in a long series of international corporate financial scandals that imposes new burdens and responsibilities on in-house counsel. MF Global Holdings, Madoff, Stanford, Lehman and many other smaller failures mean that corporate counsel for securities, brokerage and other companies who invest in Europe face heightened corporate and regulatory scrutiny. What are the minefields you have to avoid? Is there insurance for your losses? Is there insurance for your shareholders’ or investors’ losses? Will your management face criminal charges?

This program focuses on best practices regarding duties, compensation and independence of the lead director.

This program will explore what companies are required under SEC guidance, or may soon be required (by regulation or consumer demand), to disclose regarding how much carbon their products have generated, the chemicals used in their products, the origin of product materials and the well-being of the workers making their products. This may soon be required of the entire supply chain for products.

The SEC has been busy making new rules in the post-Dodd-Frank year. Come to this session to get caught up on the most important issues the SEC has tackled in the past year. Subject to calendar changes at the SEC, topics covered will include whistleblower programs, say on pay and say when on pay, pay for performance, compensation committee independence, credit ratings, swaps and derivatives, and other important developments.

Given all the regulatory and legislative turmoil, it is more critical than ever that in-house legal personnel be able to clearly communicate the changes to their corporate stakeholder and convincingly present strategies for dealing with the changes. This panel will present some strategies on these fronts.
