Cravath partners Mark I. Greene and Jennifer S. Leete spoke at Stanford Law School’s 29th Annual Directors’ College, which was held from June 24‑26, 2024, in Stanford, CA.

Mark spoke on a panel entitled “Mergers & Acquisitions,” which reviewed best practices in board engagement with M&A strategy and implementation from both buy and sell sides, including director fiduciary responsibilities in M&A transactions, implications of shareholder activism, Delaware law considerations and how boards can build a record that will withstand litigation scrutiny. Jennifer spoke on a panel entitled “Defend Your Company, Defend Yourself: Private Litigation, Government Investigations, and D&O Insurance,” which examined litigation issues that can threaten corporations, directors and senior executives and provided practical strategies for minimizing and insuring against risks as well as for responding to an investigation or litigation if the challenge arises.
