UK heads of legal should not sit on their companies’ boards, but should attend board meetings to help avert Enron-style corporate failures, according to a major survey of non-executive directors by Legal Week‘s sister title Legal Director.
The Benchmarker survey asked more than 50 non-executives to indicate whether they agreed with the proposition that heads of legal should sit on their companies’ main boards on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 indicating strong disagreement, and 10 indicating strong agreement.
