The Informed Board – Winter 2021

The Informed Board

The business world confronts a host of shifting challenges in 2021. To help boards navigate these, Skadden is launching The Informed Board, a periodic collection of concise articles that provide broad insights about key issues directors face. In these articles, we aim to help flag potential challenges that may not be fully appreciated, explain trends, share our observations and give directors practical guidance without a lot of legal jargon. These articles are based not just on Skadden’s knowledge of the law, but also on our front-line experience inside boardrooms.
