Esteemed US attorney, Marilyn Holifield, opened her presentation at the Eighth Annual Caribbean Commercial Law Workshop (CCLW) at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Grand Cayman by saying that the Walt Disney President's $130-million-for-one-year-of-work saga was one of the primary occurrences that thrust the question of payments to bosses and directors, and their executive responsibility to companies, to the forefront of international legal contemplations. This statement from Ms Holifield - an attorney for some 30 years; a professional named one of South Florida's 25 most successful and prominent black Business Women by Network Miami magazine; and, Litigations Partner at one of the largest law firms in the world, Holland & Knight - brought continuity to the seriousness of the issues that other attorneys from Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Cayman, Toronto and Miami, also raised on the topic of Corporate Governance.
