Beyond Legal: A Business Approach to Corporate Governance

May 08, 2008

11:15 AM - 12:45 PM EDT

Kenneth M. Roberts, co-leader of Schiff Hardin's Construction Group, will speak at the "Beyond Legal: A Business Approach to Corporate Governance" conference presented by the American Bar Association's (ABA) Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section. Schiff Hardin is a proud Gold Sponsor of the conference, which is scheduled for May 8-9 at the Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers in New York City.

Mr. Roberts' session is "Diversity in the Boardroom." This session will feature speakers who are actively involved in conducting research that correlates board diversity with best corporate governance practices and board and management diversity with superior economic performance, and in educating businesses and board members as to the value of diverse boards. This is an opportunity to hear from the insiders on this issue and have access to information they are providing to corporate America.

The core theme of the Beyond Legal: A Business Approach to Corporate Governance conference continues to be the nature of the relationship among responsible corporate behavior, corporate profitability and litigation risk. Participants in thought-provoking panels will discuss how various approaches to structuring internal processes may affect this relationship.
