Non-profits may secure significant long-term, low-cost funding through the issuance of tax-exempt bonds, but the process is technical and complex. This session covered the basics on the benefits and risks of such financing, as well as the process and possible pitfalls in successfully bringing a bond deal to closure, and being a key player in the bond process.

This session presented an overview of the tax law and regulations as they relate to the deductibility of fines, penalties, and punitive damages. There was also a discussion of the current trends in settlement language with governmental institutions and strategies to obtain the optimal tax outcome for the company. And what are the economic implications of a settlement being deductible as compared to a settlement that is not deductible? We addressed that, too!

Best practices dictate that you should get and keep your directors interested in and learning about your company and issues pertaining to the board. This effort should start with the “on-boarding” process, followed by a continuing education program on topics such as legal and regulatory changes, trends in corporate governance, compliance, compensation, financial reporting, whistleblower developments, insurance, and more. It’s never to late for anyone—even the Board—to learn.

This was a practical session addressing real-life challenges between in-house counsel and auditors.

There is nothing like the voice of experience to help guide your way. This general counsel panel from leading financial service companies provided just that. They discussed the issues that have been the most important to them and how they advise their corporations, manage regulatory risks, oversee the legal department, balance legal and business roles, and deal with outside counsel. Listen and learn!

These days if you are counsel in the financial services industry, responding to a host of regulatory agencies and even being involved in the judicial process is practically daily fare. This cadre could include the Federal Reserve, FDIC, OCC, SEC and other various and sundry state insurance, banking, and exchange regulators. This program addressed the issues that may come up in responding to them, including the attorney-client privilege and demands of waiver, whether to be compliant or adverse, and other issues that arise with respect to official process.
