As the financial landscape has become increasingly volatile and distressed, the potential liability for directors of venture and private equity-backed companies for their decisions as Board members has increased. Also, with decreased opportunities to increase the value of portfolio companies through financial strategies, there is an increased importance on the ability of private equity investors to contribute value through strategic and management oversight.
Brian Schafer of Winston & Strawn LLP will review::
- potential areas of exposure for directors
- characteristics of a well-functioning and effective Board
- best practices to consider for Boards of portfolio companies
Attendees will receive sample guides that offer tips on:
- director recruitment and selection
- matters reserved for action of the Board of Directors
- best practices
Tim Golomb of NASDAQ will provide an additional perspective on best practices for Boards of Directors.
This session is intended for those investment professionals at venture capital and private equity firms who serve as Board members of portfolio companies or who are responsible for developing or overseeing Board processes at portfolio companies.
