Stanford’s Joseph Grundfest to Headline 7th Annual Corporate Governance Summit

The summit focuses on the shifting landscape for boards of directors and senior executives, emphasizing the integration of artificial intelligence into governance frameworks and the complexities of transitioning private firms to public markets. Discussions will also evaluate the legal nuances of corporate litigation across Delaware, Nevada, and Texas, alongside strategies for mitigating risks associated with shareholder activism.

Michael J. Bonner, Las Vegas co-managing shareholder at Greenberg Traurig, noted that the event provides a critical platform for leadership teams to navigate an increasingly complex economic climate. Grundfest, who previously served as the youngest-ever SEC commissioner, brings decades of expertise in capital markets and securities litigation to the keynote stage.

The conference, held at the Wynn Las Vegas Resort, features a series of panels on AI-driven risk management, activism, and the current landscape of business courts. Rather than a standard registration fee, organizers are requesting a $199 donation per attendee to fund scholarships at the William S. Boyd School of Law. The program is expected to offer CLE and CPE credits for participating professionals.
