New Aspen Loose-Leaf Addresses Representation of Corporate Officers and Directors

New Aspen Loose-Leaf Addresses Representation of Corporate Officers and Directors

Submitted by Marc J. Lane Investment Management, Inc.

NEW YORK, NY - Aspen Publishers, a leading provider of specialty information for attorneys, business professionals and law students (www.aspenpublishers.com), now offers Representing Corporate Officers and Directors, a unique loose-leaf resource that shows attorneys how to protect their corporate officer and director clients from the blizzard of legislation, SEC oversight, new listing standards and new fiduciary duties - backed up, in many cases, by crushing criminal penalties.

"With this unique new guide, attorneys can make sure their clients stay in compliance, stay out of court, stay on the job and stay off the six o'clock news," said Aspen marketing manager Shawn Hood.

Representing Corporate Officers & Directors tells what to look for, what to look out for and what steps to take to protect corporate clients in today's harsh regulatory environment. It keeps readers on top of the avalanche of legislation, rules, regulations, and case decisions affecting corporate officers and directors and shows them how to strengthen corporate defenses, including bylaws, procedures and insurance coverage. As a result, attorneys can limit officer and director exposure to liability; avoid costly fines and criminal penalties; anticipate and counter shareholder claims.

Topics treated in depth include duty of care; conflicts of interest; federal securities laws; indemnification and insurance; tender offers; implementing mergers and acquisitions; dividends and other corporate distributions; nonprofit corporations.

This authoritative single-volume resource is filled with practical ideas, charts and checklists that allow attorneys to:

  • Quickly determine what types of officer and director liability are limited by the corporation's state of incorporation;
  • Add or strengthen indemnity clauses to corporate bylaws;
  • Weigh the premium costs of new or increased coverage against expected benefits;
  • Review limitations on the tax deductibility of self-insured indemnity payments ;
  • Prepare officers and directors to avoid the dangers of conflict of interest, taking corporate opportunities, and receiving unreasonable compensation or other illegal payments;
  • And closely analyze the applicable laws, court decisions, and regulations, such as Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, if a securities offering is planned.

    "Representing Corporate Officers & Directors provides attorneys with the resources they need to protect their clients in a difficult and threatening legal environment," Hood said.
