Board members of public and private companies and not-for-profit organizations continue to fall under regulatory scrutiny and pressure to demonstrate that they operate at the highest level of integrity as they carry out their fiduciary duties. Based on years of experience in the publicly held arena, our corporate governance team provides comprehensive counsel to boards and directors, in the areas of regulatory compliance, board structure and operations.

The attorneys in our Corporate Governance practice group counsel clients in a comprehensive set of areas including board independence and structure, committee charters, code of conduct and ethics, transparency, risk assessment and management. We believe the best practices in board governance require a  focus on compliance with principles in addition to compliance with rules. Our attorneys assist clients in creating a company wide culture through the creation of procedures and policies related to operations, reporting and oversight, and set forth the protocol necessary for defined relationships among individuals and groups within the company. We encourage boards to engage in self-evaluation and offer directors education programs by request.
