Why it matters: As global economic turbulence pushes more companies into the zone of insolvency, the fiduciary duties of directors and officers shift in ways that can have serious legal and financial consequences. This roundtable offers C-suite leaders and board members actionable guidance on navigating creditor communications, value preservation, and D&O policies when it matters most. Understanding these obligations isn’t just good governance — it’s a critical defense against personal liability.
