Ropes & Gray Partners Discuss Key Financial Fraud Enforcement Issues at Directors Roundtable Event

As part of a Feb. 3 event organized by the Directors Roundtable Institute, in partnership with Ropes & Gray and StoneTurn Group, business & securities litigation partner Randall Bodner participated in a panel discussion at the Cornell Club-New York that enabled a cross-section of government and private sector panelists to examine key international enforcement issues for c-suites and boards.

Using practical scenarios, the panel discussed effective strategies for managing the associated business and legal risks, as well as on how to handle a crisis. The speakers also considered the added complexity of white collar liability for directors and officers, the international reach of investigations, and strategies for handling simultaneous inquiries from multiple regulators.
