Boards must navigate a fast-changing environment that now spans corporate governance, shareholder activism, fiduciary duties, legal and business risk oversight, privacy, cybersecurity, AI governance, and criminal and regulatory enforcement. At this program, leading corporate governance experts, including directors, government officials, corporate counsel, and consultants, will share practical perspectives on the issues shaping board oversight today: the 2026 proxy season and evolving activist strategies, corporate law developments, emerging technology risks, enforcement priorities, and the topics that keep directors up at night.

Wilson Sonsini partner Shannon E. German will speak at PLI's upcoming program titled, “Corp Law Spotlight: What Boards Need to Know,” at 11:00 AM EST. The session will address corporate law changes in Delaware and beyond, identifying and managing conflicts of interest, board oversight of legal and business risks, and trends in shareholder litigation.
