Hear from 2 of the leaders in the world of securities litigation in a point/counterpoint discussion on these subjects and others:

• Why/when do shareholders target individual directors or officers?
• Are institutional investors driving litigation strategy today? How?
• Can directors with special expertise be held “more liable”?
• Directors increasingly rely on outside experts--are they personally liable if they follow bad advice?
• Class Action frequency of filings is down substantially, yet derivative cases are way up - why and will it continue?
• Does Director & Officer liability insurance heavily influence a settlement course?
• Is "corporate governance reform" an effective part of a settlement?
