The spread of this global pandemic is presenting companies and boards with unprecedented and complex legal, business and operational challenges.

Topics include:

• What securities class action lawsuits have been filed to date? Will we see more?
• Are we likely to see an uptick in M&A cases as well?
• What should companies consider when making public disclosures relating to COVID-19?
• How can companies best protect themselves when making such disclosures?
• What is the SEC’s role in setting guidelines for disclosures?
• How can board members properly exercise their duties of care and oversight, particularly with respect to corporate governance issues, cybersecurity risks, D&O coverage, and potential insolvency?
• Review of a few hypothetical cases & related issues
