In the past few years, several companies have faced public attacks from short sellers, bloggers or others usually alleging wrongdoing by the company or its executives. Some deride this phenomenon as baseless opportunism; others, as important whistleblowing that increases corporate transparency and accountability. Either way, in-house counsel must be prepared to help their companies assess the allegations, collect the facts, and respond quickly. Join Roger Lane, Courtney Worcester, and Michael Thompson as they discuss the ways in which a company’s stock can be publicly attacked; what in-house counsel can do to respond; and the costs and benefits of responding.
