HNRK Partner Sheryl Galler Speaks at NAMWOLF Annual Meeting
Our partner Sheryl Galler recently chaired a panel discussion entitled “Stay Out of Court, Stay Out of the Media and Stay Out of Trouble: The Many Faces of Corporate Compliance.” Ms. Galler presented the whistleblower provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and recent court decisions interpreting those provisions. She also shared with the audience the current approach of public relations professionals on dealing with media inquiries regarding government investigations.
The panelists included Valerie Caproni, who is now General Counsel of the FBI and formerly held high level positions at the U.S. Attorneys’ Office and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ms. Caproni was invited to join the panel by Ms. Galler and our partner John Kenney, who worked with Ms. Caproni at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett.
The panel discussion was presented at the Annual Meeting of the National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF), which was held in Dallas, Texas on November 13-14, 2008. The session was accredited by the State Bar of Texas for continuing legal education credit.
