June 17, 2020
9 am – 10:00 am (ET)
If you are involved with a Canadian issuer operating in an emerging market, it is imperative that you understand how securities law and regulatory intervention could impact the liability of the company and its directors and officers.
Join Adam Chisholm and Stephen Wortley on Wednesday, June 17th, as they will address how decisions of the Ontario Securities Commission and Ontario’s courts related to Sino-Forest Corporation impact the potential liability of officers and directors of emerging market issuers.
Any current or aspiring director or officer of a Canadian-listed company with operations in Asia, South America, Africa and Eastern Europe will find this presentation of eminent value.
Participants will be provided with learnings that may be translated to their business to ensure that regulatory impacts are properly understood and mitigated.
