Exclusive Screening of the New Corporate Drama Movie 'A Price Worth Paying?' - 6 November 2013
Dechert in conjunction with Willis, NEDA and Alvarez & Marsal invite you to an evening of movie-spec entertainment and lively discussion.'A Price Worth Paying?' is a new drama movie focusing on the board of directors, senior executive team, and external advisors of a fictitious company, Maartel International, and looking at how well each identifies, and reacts to, risks emerging within the business. The movie looks at difficult issues such as executive compensation, the risks involved in an acquisition in an emerging market, the adequacy of the company’s response to a serious whistle blower allegation and the role played, and advice given, by Maartel International’s General Counsel. It reinforces the importance of setting the right "tone from the top", ensuring that adequate compliance policies are in place and the crucial role of a General Counsel in advising the board of directors and senior officers in challenging situations.Click here to watch the trailer.“One of the most professional, star-studded examples of an underappreciated genre: the corporate training video” is how the Wall Street Journal described the film in an article on the front page of the 16th July 2013 edition. Read the full article here.
“A Price Worth Paying? is a superb quality film which raises awareness of important issues facing a board in the most dramatic fashion. It has been cleverly designed to provoke uncomfortable, but much needed, debate.” - Alan Thomson, Chairman, Hays okc & Bodycote plc; NED at HSBC and Alstom
Written by Dechert partner Duncan Wiggetts and directed by Nick White, who was short-listed for a BAFTA award in 2011, A Price Worth Paying? features an all star cast of directors including Phil Davis, currently on TV in the new series of Whitechapel.
