The Buck Stops in the Boardroom

Serving on a company's board of director carries with it a number of responsibilities and legal duties. Failure to adhere to these duties can subject board members to serious consequences. In this program, attorney Douglas Gordon will unpack the legal responsibilities of the board of directors, covering several real-world examples and high-profile cases to shed light on what the board should and should not do. He will also give corporate counsel the tools they need to maximize board empowerment. Mr. Gordon also presents his acclaimed “10 Commandments of the Board,” which delves into the most vital actions a board must take to protect itself, tackling issues such as the duty of care, the duty of loyalty, proper control procedures, limitations on the CEO’s authority, and proper evaluation procedures.
