Law and Corporate Governance conference

Our Board & Governance team was pleased to be invited to Ignitis' Law and Corporate Governance conference on 23 October 2024 to deliver a session for company secretaries of leading state-owned enterprises in Lithuania.

Lena Eriksson, one of our Senior Advisors, shared insights on: 

• The evolving role of the board and how the role of the board secretary has evolved to match
• Best practice on the appointment and reporting line of the board secretariat function
• How the board secretary adds value and contributes to board effectiveness by enhancing the company's governance framework, enabling a forward-thinking and strategic board, supporting board and individual director evaluation exercises, facilitating director development, and monitoring external trends
• The types of board evaluations and approaches to board skill matrix development, and how Sodali & Co think about these exercises when supporting companies.

Lena Eriksson: "It was a great initiative to gather board secretaries to share best practices and explore how the secretary could add value and work for a more effective board."
