A useful written summary in the link below on the panel discussion held at Fladgate LLP during #LIDW about privilege

Nice to see this article.

#Japan would never do this: “a corporation can enter into agreements with current or prospective stockholders giving stockholders consent rights or specifying that the corporation, stockholders, or directors will take certain actions or refrain from taking certain actions.” It goes against the principle of the autonomous decision-making responsibility of directors. For the same reason, an agreement with a director that they will vote or act a certain way is unenforceable. The advantage (not in this case, but sometimes) of the US system is that different state courts can compete and sometimes improve law and rules. In #japan , the bad news is that there is only one law and one court system, so there is no competition and things change unbearably slowly, but the good news is that competition does not lead to absurd panicky results like this.

🤔Non-executive (NED) and independent non-executive directors (iNED), what’s the difference? It's not easy to have a clear view on the role and meaning of NEDs and iNEDs, but thanks to the article by Mike Delano you will have a better view and understanding. Check out PwC Luxembourg's latest blog post on NEDs and iNEDs, the unsung heroes of the world of corporate governance 👇 #Governance #NEDs #NonExecutiveDirectors #Manco #funds #investmentfunds #BoD

I had a chat with IFLR about this and that, including law firm leadership, the M&A market outlook and strategic level advisory within ESG. The interview is behind a paywall, so below a few short quotes for free 🤑 👩🏻🍳 On leading more senior partners: ”Being younger, it comes naturally to involve other partners and create collaboration between partners of all seniorities. It also brings a future-oriented mindset without fear to bring on new ways of doing things.” 🤝 On M&A outlooks: ”We’re seing deal activity pick up. We foresee a decrease in the valuation gap between sellers and purchasers, and more predictable financing is also anticipated. Furthermore, there is great pressure within the PE sector both to invest and exit.” 🌍 On ESG advisory as a growing area for the firm: ”ESG has become a top priority on a strategic level for the boards of directors and top management.” We’re currently busy planning for 2025, and with this in the backpack, it looks like we can aim quite high!
