Event Outline

Corporate governance in Singapore and across Asia is evolving. Independent directors remain central to board design, yet boards are increasingly expected to add directors with targeted expertise – for example in ESG, cybersecurity, climate, or diversity. This seminar examines how these trends intersect and what they mean for board effectiveness, disclosure, oversight duties, and litigation risk.
