Focus on Culture and Conduct Brings New Considerations for Corporates and Investors
Latham & Watkins LLP
3 pages

The focus on culture has become more acute during the COVID-19 pandemic, as investors and consumers observe and judge companies based on their navigation of the crisis, particularly treatment of employees and wider societal stakeholders. In our view, the global regulatory direction of travel is clear. Companies and investors planning an exit must consider the impact that poor corporate culture may have on their potential to achieve an exit, in particular an IPO, and to prosper as a company in the longer term.

  • Design a blueprint for mindful communication with employees during post-Covid efforts;
  • Use the right tools to create responsiveness and creativity; and
  • Ethically rebuild trust in the workplace after months of stress and uncertainty

 

Join us for a discussion of the possible steps companies can take to strengthen privilege protections and avoid the risk of waiver in the wake of the recent WeWork® decision from the Delaware Chancery Court. 
 
Background: This decision has indicated that the use of third-party email accounts could result in a waiver of privilege over communications with company counsel in certain circumstances if the third-party's internal policies reserved the right to monitor emails transmitted through the accounts. 
 
Risk: The use of third-party email accounts by outside directors (and others with dual roles) to conduct company business is common and widespread, and so are corporate policies to monitor emails transmitted through those accounts. After the WeWork® case, this practice can put privilege protections over sensitive board documents, communications, and information in jeopardy in certain situations.
