We are pleased to announce that the College will offer a complimentary, in-person Master Class from approximately 8:45 am until approximately 1:30 pm on November 6, 2025 at Hunton’s office at 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166.

One of the benefits of your membership in the College is the ability to nominate a more junior colleague in your organization or a client to attend. This event is intended for lawyers practicing in the governance arena who have potential to become future leaders in the field and is designed to recognize their development in the field, provide exposure to the experience and insights of experienced Fellows on cutting edge issues in counselling boards of directors, and help foster relationships between practitioners in the governance area.

This year’s session will be an interactive discussion examining the role of special litigation, demand review, and transaction committees in managing risk, ensuring independence, and strengthening board governance.

This year’s program will be co-chaired by Steven M. Haas, Partner, Hunton Andrews Kurth, LLP, and Greg V. Varallo, Partner, Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossman LLP. They will be assembling a group of speakers including defense-side and plaintiffs’ attorneys regularly involved in advising or litigation board committee matters to speak to this important and current topic.

We encourage you to nominate a lawyer in your organization or a client to attend this exclusive, invitation-only program by October 6, 2025 by sending your nomination and the nominee’s CV to info@amgovcollege.org.  Each Fellow may nominate one colleague.  If additional spaces become available, we will call for second nominations until we reach capacity.

Attendance to this year Master Class is complimentary and lunch will be provided.  We plan to offer CLE credit in most states through a law firm sponsor.  

Our prior Master Classes have been well-attended and well-received, and we believe this year’s program will fill up quickly. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of us.
