Download or read book Directors Liability and Indemnification written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 627 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Directors' liabilities have been a key concern in boardrooms since the various high-profile corporate failures in Europe and the United States over the past two decades, when regulation increased and shareholders' and companies' rights to bring civil claims were extended. The current financial crisis will inevitably bring with it greater risks and challenges for directors. There is an increasingly aggressive environment for civil claims, fuelled by insolvencies, shareholder pressure and public outcry. The attention of the regulators is also ever more sharply focused on directors' conduct. Directors are understandably looking closely at the protection available to them, through both indemnification and directors' and officers' insurance. The exposures faced by directors and the extent to which indemnification and insurance may provide protection vary significantly around the world. This comprehensive second edition features contributions by leading experts on the important aspects of directors' liability, the protection available to directors and the risks of doing businesses in multiple jurisdictions. New to the second edition are chapters on China, the Czech Republic, Kazakhstan, Slovakia, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates. In addition to civil claims and indemnification, each chapter now includes commentary on regulatory and criminal liability. Particular focus is placed on the impact of the credit crisis. The book also features a new section dealing with regulatory issues surrounding global directors' and officers' programmes and their ability to provide cover in all intended jurisdictions. Unique in its approach, this new edition is a powerful tool in assisting directors, officers, in-house counsel and the private practice lawyers advising them to make well-informed judgements about the risks they are taking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our increasingly litigious society, no company can afford to be without directors' and officers' liability insurance. To the author, whose involvement with this form of liability insurance dates from its earliest introduction, the rapid growth in demand comes as no surprise. The current rule seems to be: If you can't sue the person you thought responsible, keep on filing suits until you hit a target. Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance scrutinizes new legal developments and case law, new insurers and challenges in ownership, and new types of policy and marketing methods. Each chapter is constructed as a separate module for ease of use and practicality. The author provides the views and experiences of specialist practitioners together with detailed case studies. He also illustrates the links between other forms of insurance and their relationship with international company law. A well designed liability policy will go a long way in managing the potential liabilities that directors' and officers' face as they deliver their services to their clients. Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance provides a comprehensive source of information useful to brokers and other professionals worldwide. This book is a necessity for any broker who has dealings with major companies, and for underwriters of companies moving into this sector. Features
Download or read book Practitioner s Guide to Global Investigations written by Judith Seddon and published by Law Business Research Ltd.. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 1026 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's never been a greater likelihood a company and its key people will become embroiled in a cross-border investigation. But emerging unscarred is a challenge. Local laws and procedures on corporate offences differ extensively - and can be contradictory. To extricate oneself with minimal cost requires a nuanced ability to blend understanding of the local law with the wider dimension and, in particular, to understand where the different countries showing an interest will differ in approach, expectations or conclusions. Against this backdrop, GIR has published the second edition of The Practitioner's Guide to Global Investigation. The book is divided into two parts with chapters written exclusively by leading names in the field. Using US and UK practice and procedure, Part I tracks the development of a serious allegation (whether originating inside or outside a company) - looking at the key risks that arise and the challenges it poses, along with the opportunities for its resolution. It offers expert insight into fact-gathering (including document preservation and collection, witness interviews); structuring the investigation (the complexities of cross-border privilege issues); and strategising effectively to resolve cross-border probes and manage corporate reputation.Part II features detailed comparable surveys of the relevant law and practice in jurisdictions that build on many of the vital issues pinpointed in Part I.
