Fasken Martineau's Securities and Mergers & Acquisitions Group invites you to attend a breakfast seminar that will address how to respond when allegations of wrongdoing arise. Boards are expected to have proper systems in place to prevent and detect wrongdoing; however, even the best governance system cannot completely eliminate potential wrongdoing within a company. Where allegations of wrongdoing surface, common sense and market expectations dictate a swift and appropriate response. However, the proper course of action may not be clear at the outset. This seminar will focus on key principles to guide boards in their decision-making process when allegations of wrongdoing arise so that an appropriate, measured response can be developed and implemented in a timely manner.

Topics to be addressed include:

• Determining who should carry out any investigation
• Considerations regarding confidentiality, legal privilege and disclosure
• When to engage external advisors
• When to call the regulators or other authorities

Agenda:

• 8:00 am - 8:30 am     Registration and Breakfast
