A continuing, sensitive responsibility of the general counsel is supporting the directors and officers’ conflicts of interest disclosure and resolution process. This responsibility is made particularly challenging because the conflicts analysis resembles a “puzzle” of multiple different legal factors that must be carefully “assembled” before reaching a conclusion.

In the first of a three-part video series on conflicts of interest challenges, Michael Peregrine explores each of these factors and how they should be incorporated by the general counsel into the overall conflicts analysis. Topics covered include:

• Core duty of loyalty issues,
• Potential for bias,
• Legal, tax considerations,
• And more in this brief seven-minute video.
