There is clearly a lot happening in corporate governance these days! In this 27-minute episode of Women Governance Trailblazers, Courtney and I caught up with Maeve O’Connor, who is Co-Chair of the Debevoise’s Securities Litigation Practice and Chair of the firm’s Insurance Litigation Practice. We discussed:

1. Highlights of being a securities litigator.

2. Enforcement trends and recommendations for boards and companies in a deregulatory environment.

3. Securities litigation trends that boards may need to consider.

4. Things boards and advisors can do to improve disclosures and minutes from a litigation perspective.

5. Changes and trends resulting from recent amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law and the “DExit” movement.

6. Maeve’s advice to early-career lawyers who aspire to be part of the next generation of corporate governance trailblazers.
