Banking Industry Challenges in 2010: Issues and Risks for Bank Directors & Officers

Alston & Bird has kicked off a series of webinars for the first and second quarters of this year that will explore in-depth the legislative and regulatory actions that will force operational changes in the banking industry. In the current banking environment, the litigation risks to bank directors and officers are high. Understanding the steps that can be taken in anticipation of potential claims can guide board directors. During this webinar, the panel discussed the nature of these risks, the potential claims that might arise, and steps that bank officers and directors can take to be better prepared in the event of litigation. Atlanta attorneys Mary Gill and Robert Long, and Los Angeles attorney Michael Hartley, addressed the following topics.

• FDIC Post Receivership Investigation and Pre-Litigation Process
• Other Potential Claims: Shareholders, Bankruptcy Trustees, Customers or Employees
• Key Considerations Regarding Bank Directors and Officers Insurance
