Governance at Market Turning Points: How Boards Navigate Capital Shifts, Strategic Transactions & Fiduciary Risk

Registration Opening Soon.

This is a members-only, exclusive Governance Insight Webinar presented by JPMorgan.

In an environment defined by shifting capital flows, tightening liquidity, and increasing valuation pressure, boards must be prepared to lead with clarity as their organizations encounter potential inflection points. This Governance Insight Webinar, presented by JP Morgan, provides directors with a comprehensive view of how macroeconomic signals translate into boardroom priorities, governance readiness, and strategic decision-making during periods of uncertainty.

Drawing on insights from market strategists, governance advisors, valuation specialists, and legal counsel, directors will explore how to recognize early indicators of changing market conditions, strengthen board composition and oversight capabilities, and effectively guide management through strategic transactions, including recapitalizations, ownership transitions, and M&A. The session will also address the process discipline, fiduciary responsibilities, and documentation expectations that help boards safeguard their judgment and maintain transparency throughout critical decision windows.

This discussion is designed to equip directors with practical, actionable insights that reinforce their ability to exercise independence, rigorously evaluate options, and steward their organizations through turning points with discipline and confidence.
