Intake & Disposition of Watchdog Group Communications

By Randi Morrison posted yesterday

  

Watch Out for the Watchdogs” from Skadden Arps addresses the important but scarcely resourced topic of watchdog groups who, while having no direct stake in the company, should be viewed on par with whistleblowers, shareholders, and other third parties who raise concerns or complaints to management and/or the board. To carry out their fiduciary duties, directors should seek to understand the issues/allegations, gather additional information, evaluate the claims, and respond accordingly, all of which should be carefully documented to support directors’ good faith decision making.
