Corporate Governance
Experience
Our attorneys assist a wide range of clients with corporate governance compliance and disclosure. Our involvement includes establishing policies and procedures for exchange-listed companies, compliance with SEC requirements and exchange listing standards, and consideration of the impact of the standards of proxy advisory firms such as ISS and Glass Lewis.
We work closely with management, boards of directors and committees of the boards on a variety of issues, including board and committee composition, disclosure requirements, adherence to fiduciary duties, executive and director compensation, audit, regulatory and finance requirements, and risk management.
