CLARS Law and Business Seminar: Specialist Directors

Don't miss this special Law and Business Seminar on Tuesday 14 October, as visiting scholar Professor Roy Shapira joins CLARS at the Melbourne office of Arnold Bloch Leibler.

What types of skill sets do directors need for corporate boards to be effective? In a recent project (with Duke University School of Law Professor Yaron Nili), we track a major shift in how boards think about expertise. Once dominated by generalist ex-CEOs, boards now increasingly feature “cyber directors,” “climate directors,” or “DEI directors.” By analysing companies' skill matrix disclosures, we assess the causes and consequences of this shift to "specialist directors," and suggest concrete implications for practitioners and policymakers.

The seminar will be commentated by Non-Executive Director, Janette Kendall, and chaired by CLARS Director, Professor Jennifer Hill.
