Description

The Role of Independent Directors in Corporate Governance 2nd Edition Bruce Dravis ISBN 9781634251419

Independent directors now occupy a central role in corporate governance, with responsibilities and expectations that have expanded significantly in recent years. This fully updated second edition serves as a practical and authoritative resource for both attorneys and non-attorneys, addressing not only the laws governing independent directors and corporations, but also the broader governance landscape in which those laws are developed, applied, and interpreted.

The Role of Independent Directors in Corporate Governance equips directors—and the attorneys who advise them—with a clear understanding of the policies, principles, and underlying issues that shape fiduciary duties and modern corporate governance requirements. The guide offers practical guidance on how independent directors can fulfill their obligations while minimizing personal and corporate risk.

Topics include guidance on:

  • What independent directors must know—both individually and from the company’s perspective—to comply with the law and reduce exposure to personal liability

  • Shareholder rights and responsibilities

  • Individual securities law compliance and enforcement actions

  • The roles, responsibilities, and practices of key board committees, including the nominating process

  • Managing conflicts of interest, litigation, investigations, and other high-stakes situations in which independent directors play a critical decision-making role

  • And more

The book also includes sample summary and model presentation materials in PowerPoint format, providing a convenient reference and a practical starting point for board training sessions or management briefings.
