Corporate Governance

Whether it’s a founder-led startup, a global public company, an investor with a significant stake in an enterprise, or a board of directors (or board committee) navigating a turning point, when our clients seek counsel on corporate governance matters, we bring clear thinking and deep experience to the table.

Our approach is pragmatic and commercial. We guide our clients in implementing governance structures to fit how businesses operate in the modern economy — supporting growth, managing risk, and staying ahead of legal and stakeholder demands without stifling innovation.

Our team has extensive experience advising companies, boards of directors, board committees and investors on compliance requirements and best practices relating to their most high-stakes corporate governance challenges. We also have substantial experience representing our clients before stock exchanges and government regulators.

What We Do:

  • Governance Architecture and Dynamics
    We translate regulatory frameworks into governance structures that meet our
    clients’ needs. We also advise our clients on various board and committee
    composition matters, such as director independence.
  • Shareholder Meetings
    We help our clients prepare proxy disclosures, manage annual meeting logistics,
    and navigate shareholder communications.
  • Compliance Advice and Risk Management
    We guide directors and officers through high-stakes decisions — clarifying legal
    duties, flagging exposure, and helping leadership teams comply with corporate
    formalities.
  • Governance in Motion
    When transformative transactions arise, we advise our clients on changing
    governance dynamics — to allocate decision rights and oversight appropriately.
  • Policy Design
    We develop governance structures that are functional, not just formal — codes of
    conduct, governance guidelines, and other foundational policies that support
    sound decisions at every level.

Our team brings sound judgment, proactive thinking, and a business-first mindset to
help our clients lead with confidence in today’s fast-paced environment.
