One or more speakers were selected from a call for papers.
The severe global financial crisis has sparked an unprecedented response. Billions of dollars in government bailout funds. The federal government taking equity stakes in private entities. Major restructuring of automakers and other financial firms. Federal and state initiatives focused on proxy access and say on pay. Both the crisis and recovery effort raise issues related to corporate governance including those involving the role of the board, executive compensation and decision-making, the theory of the firm, and shareholder and stakeholder rights. The first half of the session brings together prominent legal scholars and experts to discuss these and other issues, with an eye towards understanding what the collapse and recovery effort means for corporate governance.
