Directors’ and Officers’ Liability

 

Release #5 is now available for Directors’ and Officers’ Liability.

Executives in corporations and financial firms are on the hot seat as never before in the wake of scandals that have infuriated investors and the public at large.

This treatise provides executives and their legal counsel with the guidance needed to minimize the legal exposure of corporate heads and help them meet the professional performance expectations of  shareholders.

The title shows you how top managers can satisfy duties of care, loyalty, good faith, and disclosure (and avoid charges of negligence and conflict of interest, among others); meet certification, due diligence and director independence requirements; follow best professional practices advocated by leading U.S. business groups; successfully use various legal defenses when they are charged with violations; take advantage of “safe harbor” statutes that lessen their legal exposure; and protect themselves through contractual indemnification and D&O insurance.

If your library is on standing order for this treatise, you can expect Release #5 to arrive soon.  If you’d like to order the release please email libraryrelations@pli.edu or call 877-900-5291.
