As a mature business leader, you recognize the role of corporate governance within your drive towards your firm’s long term growth and financial stability. In order to attract equity, remain competitive and ensure the credibility of your business, you must seek to establish exceptional corporate governance standards.

Beyond compliance and regulatory aspects, operating in a clear corporate governance framework reflects management performance and accountability. In times of operational and reputational risks such as cybercrime, the expectations from boards go well beyond transparency and investor information.

When operating in Europe, you need legal advice from a team deeply rooted in the region. Reach out to our corporate and litigation lawyers for advice on these critical matters, in particular:

• Setting up and reviewing existing governance structures to establish the necessary control mechanisms, while at the same time preserving sufficient flexibility for the business
• Advising boards, committees, management and leadership in discharging their legal and fiduciary obligations while preserving all available legal protections
• Responding to and negotiating with national and international securities regulators and other enforcement agencies
• Working with your auditors and financial advisors to resolve potential accounting issues
• Handling disclosure in a manner that both satisfies legal obligations and is sensitive to the concerns of investors, employees and the media
• Conducting internal investigations to determine relevant facts quickly and accurately
• Working with sources of financing
• Handling any civil litigation
