From the Edge - In the Boardroom: Session 6 - Crises in the Boardroom

By Melanie Ruthrauff Levy, Stephen M. Osborn, Jason C. Vigna

Our In the Boardroom: Practical Advice and Guidance podcast series features insights from Mintz Members Steve Osborn and Melanie Levy on a wide variety of topics specific to boards. For decades, Steve and Melanie have guided companies from inception to exit, and have encountered, navigated, and mitigated innumerable board-related issues. From their experiences, you can learn a great deal. Let’s take a listen! 

In our sixth session, the team is joined by Jason Vigna, a Member in our Securities Litigation Practice, to discuss best practices for handling crises in the boardroom — including identifying, documenting, discussing, managing, and disclosing material risks. 

We hope you enjoy listening. And stay tuned for our next session.
