Directors' Liability and Indemnification
A Global Guide
Directors' liability is an increasing concern in boardrooms.
Following two decades of high-profile corporate failures in Europe
and the United States, regulation of the conduct of company
officers has been tightened through a combination of new official
penalties and the increased private rights of shareholders and
companies to bring civil claims.
There are many assumptions and misconceptions regarding the true
nature of the exposures faced by directors and officers in any
given jurisdiction, partly due to the pace of change. This
comprehensive title features contributions by leading experts from
24 countries, providing a detailed analysis of the liability and
indemnification available in each jurisdiction.
