HOUSTON, April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Burleson LLP will host a second webinar on April 22 as part of its ongoing series titled, "Drilling Down on Strategic Alternatives in the Current Energy Crisis."  The complimentary event, "Part 2: Boards of Directors and Corporate Governance," will be held from noon to 1 p.m. CDT.

Rick Burleson, managing partner of the firm, will moderate the event.  "Overseeing a company's exposure to risk can be a particularly big task for oil and gas boards of directors, given the current energy climate," he explained.

"This presentation will share critical points on the legal responsibilities of directors, officers, and controlling shareholders, and will provide practical takeaways on important considerations energy companies should understand as they manage operations in today's difficult price environment."
