Gilbert + Tobin
Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustraliaOver the past 12 months we have seen some noteworthy developments in the obligations imposed on director and officers of both public and private companies. A key understanding of these developments is essential not only to minimise potential liability for a claim of a breach of these duties but also to manage reputational risk for corporations and the individuals involved.
This webinar, hosted by Gilbert + Tobin’s award-winning Corporate Advisory team, will bring you right up to speed on recent developments in director and officer duties and liabilities and will include:
- a refresher on D+O liability;
- noteworthy developments in case law around directors’ duties;
- changes to D+O liability under the continuous disclosure regime;
- issues with ‘greenwashing’, and why directors and officers should be alive to litigation risks;
- issues presented by cyber-attacks and data breaches; and
- some key directors’ duties issues in corporate control transactions (if time permits!).
