This training will be held live at the NYC Bar Association, and simultaneously live webcast.

Description:

At the end of 2011, New York became the seventh state to authorize corporations formed with a purpose of creating general public benefit - so-called "benefit corporations." Several dozen benefit corporations have now been created in New York, and over thirty states have adopted statutes authorizing similar corporations. This program will bring together representatives of the legal and "B-Corp" communities, including lawyers for and officers of benefit corporations, institutions that monitor the public benefit provided, and investors in benefit corporations, to review lessons presented by New York's history of benefit corporations and to consider new directions that may be taken by these companies.
