Corporate Governance
We are consulted regularly by clients, large and small, public and private, to provide advice on all aspects of corporate governance. Our lawyers have extensive experience representing and counselling issuers, individual directors, boards of directors, committees of directors (regular and special) and senior executives on their legal obligations in this important area. Whether the obligations arise under the legislation governing the legal existence of the relevant issuer or under applicable securities laws, rules and regulations responding to the concerns addressed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the United States, our lawyers are able to provide knowledgeable, practical advice to the various persons affected by those requirements.
We regularly provide advice on a wide variety of matters including board composition, structure, procedure and charters; director fiduciary duties; individual director and board of director evaluation and education; whistleblowing issues; executive compensation and employee pension and incentive programs; investor relations; shareholder litigation; disclosure obligations; audit and compensation committees composition, function and charters; and other compliance requirements.
