Background to the Transatlantic Corporate Governance Dialogue

The European Corporate Governance Institute and the American Law Institute (ALI) have established the Transatlantic Corporate Governance Dialogue in order to bring together leading academics from law, economics and finance, regulators, judges, law makers, corporate leaders, investors and other corporate constituencies to engage in forward-looking discussions of corporate governance issues that are or will be at the forefront of policymaking on both sides of the Atlantic. The Dialogue is endorsed by the European Commission.

The Dialogue was launched with a full-day public conference held in Brussels on 12 July 2004 thanks to support from the European Commission (see below for further details).
