A continuing, sensitive responsibility of the general counsel is
supporting the directors and officers' conflicts of interest
disclosure and resolution process. This responsibility is made
particularly challenging because the conflicts analysis resembles a
"puzzle" of multiple different legal factors that must be
carefully "assembled" before reaching a conclusion.
In the first of a three-part video series on conflicts of
interest challenges, Michael Peregrine explores each of these
factors and how they should be incorporated by the general counsel
into the overall conflicts analysis. Topics covered include:
- Core duty of loyalty issues,
- Potential for bias,
- Legal, tax considerations,
- And more in this brief seven-minute video.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
