Agenda

Current crises in DC, Silicon Valley, and Wall St. highlight that Directors, C-Suite Executives, and General Counsel in any industry have to be prepared to deal with emergencies.  A corporate crisis can have a sizable impact on corporate value into the billions of dollars and potential personal liability for corporate leadership.  The hypothetical and analysis presented is applicable to virtually any type of crisis that a corporation may face.

This Distinguished Panel of former law enforcement officials and highly experienced corporate counsel will discuss the critical stages of an unfolding corporate crisis involving serious allegations of improper accounting made by the SEC and an internal whistleblower.  The hypothetical will address a hypothetical crisis in real time with breaking news including General Counsel interactions with demanding regulators, outside counsel, the CEO and Chairman of the Board in order to manage the crisis and protect the Company’s best interests. Key discussion topics will include practical implications for:

  • Self-reporting (pros and cons)
  • Disclosure considerations
  • Internal investigation best practices
  • Protecting the attorney-client privilege
  • Coordinating parallel proceedings with a view to global resolution
