Corporate Board Member Institute will host litigators and corporate governance experts from Freshfields for a discussion of directors’ oversight duties and how directors and corporations can best document that they are meeting them, especially given the ever-increasing use by would-be shareholder plaintiffs of demands for corporate books and records.
The panel will highlight recent decisions from the Delaware courts and relevant litigation trends, and identify best practices for directors and companies for email communications, notes, and minutes and other corporate records, including to ensure a strong record of board business while remaining mindful of privilege and discovery obligations
