June 25, 2013
Santa Clara Marriott, 2700 Mission College Boulevard, Santa Clara , California

Summary

Goodwin Procter is a sponsor of The Directors Roundtable Institute's "Key Issues Facing Boards of Directors: New SEC Enforcement Initiatives and Corporate Governance Risks." A heightened SEC focus on issues like Rule 10b5-1 stock trading plans, vigorous insider trading enforcement and new rules governing companies' uses of social media to communicate with the investing public will be among the topics explored by the SEC and other distinguished speakers. Panelists will also discuss the decline in private securities class actions, the increasing significance (at least in terms of legal costs) of derivative actions, the rise of FCPA claims and an analysis of key D&O insurance issues for public companies and their boards of directors.
