Fasken Martineau invites you to attend a complimentary breakfast seminar on managing disclosure issues in the midst of crisis. Join us to learn about the information you need to protect your company's reputation using effective crisis communication across various genres, including social media. This seminar is hosted by Fasken Martineau's Litigation & Dispute Resolution, Securities and Mergers & Acquisitions, and Government Relations & Ethics groups.

A fictional hostile takeover scenario will be presented to engage our panellists and the audience in a discussion on some of the disclosure challenges in high-pressure situations.

Topics and respective panellists will include:

  • Mat Wilcox, CEO and Founder of Wilcox Group, will talk about how social media changes and impacts business in times of crisis.
  • Partner Geoff Cowper will explain your legal options if you need to address issues related to crisis communication.
  • Partner Blair Horn will talk about what keeps M&A lawyers up at night - if they are concerned, you should be too.
  • Partner Dan Brock, one of Canada's top 100 lobbyists, will share his perspectives on how businesses can handle challenges associated with public affairs, strategic communication and government relations.
  • Partner Mark Andrews will moderate the panel.
