Using practical scenarios, polling and recent case developments, panellists will work through critical boardroom decisions. Attendees will be invited to vote on key decision points, compare their responses with those of the panel and contribute questions throughout. Discussion points include:

• How directors are using safe harbour protections while pursuing restructuring options in increasingly pressured environments
• What effective decision-making looks like when boards must act quickly with incomplete and evolving information
• How boards, legal counsel and financial advisers interact in practice and where tensions and accountability sit
• What lessons ASIC v Bekier (Star Entertainment) offers on governance, oversight and the shifting boundaries of director and adviser responsibility
