In the post-Enron and Worldcom world, the development and maintenance of effective corporate governance strategies and policies remain top priorities for in-house counsel. You are frequently called upon by management and boards of directors as first responders in M&A situations and are expected to guide the company through corporate governance issues affecting M&A transactions. In multinational situations, corporate governance issues are made more complex by the interplay of different legal schemes. Are you prepared when senior management comes knocking? If not, here is your chance to learn the law you need to intelligently advise your management and board. Our panel will review corporate governance issues and responses through all stages of an M&A transaction including planning, due diligence, negotiation, board liability issues, the board approval process, and the shareholder approval process and send you home with the resources you need to counsel your client.
