Corporate Governance

An evolving regulatory environment, shareholder expectations, and investor scrutiny require companies to achieve the highest standards of corporate governance. We advise management and shareholders in connection with a broad array of corporate governance and related matters.

We help to design best practice governance structures and board and committee structures, advise on liability and insurance issues for directors and officers, prepare board regulations and other internal policies, plan and conduct annual and extraordinary general meetings, advise on the legal, regulatory, and tax aspects of corporate social responsibility and sustainability projects, and counsel on sensitive corporate matters, strategic transactions, and internal investigations.
