Corporations in America entered a new decade facing several heightened risks in finance, securities and corporate governance that should concern general counsel, says attorney Lori Zyskowski.

Zyskowski is a partner in the New York office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and is co-chairwoman of its securities regulation and corporate governance practice. She also has a perspective gained from 13 years working in-house at major companies, including most recently as executive counsel for corporate, securities and finance at General Electric Co.
