DAVID M. LYNN: OK. We're back at the Global Capital Markets Conference. And at the topic now we're turning to is corporate governance.

The top, again, for this panel is to really survey a number of important corporate governance ...

LYLE ROBERTS: Great. If everyone is settled in, or getting settled in, we will launch into our second panel today, which is, OK, we've had the investigation. Or at least we've talked about the issues surrounding investigation, and perhaps a quick, early settlement, if possible, with the SEC. But what about the civil actions? Our fact patterns suggest that we're going to have a lot of civil actions going on, including multiple securities class actions ...

Recorded on: Apr. 27, 2012

JONATHAN K. YOUNGWOOD: Panel, yes. So we've talked about the investigation, the government regulatory aspect, which is often how a securities case starts. We've talked about the drafting of the complaint, the filing of the complaint, the likely motion to dismiss the Complaint. And lo and behold, we can all assume that the Medicines R Us case was not thrown out on a motion to dismiss. And so it's going to continue as a civil securities case, likely ...

Recorded on: Apr. 27, 2012

LYLE ROBERTS: Great. So let's get started with our final panel of the day. And really the reason we're all here of course, which is to do some ethics and ethical issues in complex securities litigation. And with me today for the final panel I have Felipe Arroyo, who is with Robbins Umeda. We've got Paul Gluckow at Simpson Thacher. Harold Gordon with Jones Day. And Jim Windels with Davis Polk. All of whom have extensive experience in securities litigation. And ...

JONATHAN K. YOUNGWOOD: OK, so even as the panelists sit down, I'm going to introduce them. JAMES R. SWANSON: Does that mean you'd like us to sit down? JONATHAN K. YOUNGWOOD: I said even as you sit down. So the mediation failed. No matter what you saw, the mediation was a failure. The summary judgment motion has been lost, and now we're going to talk about trial of the case. Briefly introduce the panelists. Sitting right next to me is Marc De Leeuw. ...

Recorded on: Apr. 27, 2012

LYLE ROBERTS: Great. We are back. And thanks, everybody, for coming back in. And this panel will now be on seeking resolution, strategies in mediation and settlement. And as you know, through the morning, we kind of took you through the case from investigation, to filing of a civil action, to some of the litigating of the civil action. And an important piece, especially in a securities class action, is the potential for settlement. And so this panel ...
