DESCRIPTION

Event Documents:

In recent months, CEOs have experienced dismissals at an alarming rate. Behind these dismissals are sensational allegations of lavish expenses, special comp plans, self-dealing and secret lives. While the primary focus of these allegations has been on the CEOs, the public and regulators are starting to ask “Where was the Board?”

Please join Foley Hoag partners Michael Keating and Dean Richlin for a practical and enlightening presentation covering:

  • Aspects of Chief Executive lifethat require the most vigilanceby the Board
  • Common pitfalls for Directors when conducting an internal investigation

Mr. Keating and Mr. Richlin successfully represented the former President and CEO of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company in overturning the Board’s decision to terminate him for cause. Special guest Neil Chayet of "Looking at the Law" will introduce the program and moderate a question and answer session.
