1. Corporate Governance and Board Advisory
We provide real-time strategic guidance to boards and their committees on governance best practices, fiduciary obligations, committee structure, and crisis oversight. Our work includes drafting charters, updating internal policies, and conducting training sessions to ensure directors meet evolving expectations.
Corporate Governance and Fiduciary Duty Compliance
Directors and officers face increasing litigation and regulatory exposure related to fiduciary duties. We counsel on conflict-of-interest management, oversight obligations, and shareholder expectations. Our attorneys also prepare boards for books-and-records demands, derivative suits, and fiduciary duty litigation that can threaten governance stability.
Corporate Governance and Board Refreshment
From succession planning to independent evaluations, we guide companies in board renewal strategies. We advise on director transitions, committee realignments, and best practices for enhancing diversity, independence, and expertise to meet market and investor demands.
2. Corporate Governance and Shareholder Engagement
In an era of activist campaigns and proxy battles, proactive shareholder engagement is essential. We help clients manage proxy contests, respond to shareholder proposals, and conduct effective investor dialogues that reinforce governance credibility.
Corporate Governance and Activism Defense
We develop tailored strategies to counter activist campaigns, including defense preparation, white papers, communication plans, and takeover readiness measures. Our cross-disciplinary team draws from litigation, securities law, and M&A expertise to mount credible defenses.
Corporate Governance and Proxy Disclosure
We advise on SEC disclosure requirements for proxy statements, including director qualifications, executive compensation, ESG policies, and governance frameworks. Clear, transparent disclosure enhances investor trust and mitigates litigation risks.
Corporate Governance and Crisis Management
When a crisis emerges — whether regulatory, reputational, or operational — our attorneys act swiftly to stabilize the boardroom and reassure stakeholders. We support boards in implementing corrective measures, handling media scrutiny, and preserving corporate value.
Corporate Governance and Government Investigations
Boards often face scrutiny during DOJ, SEC, FTC, and state attorney general investigations. We prepare directors for testimony, advise on oversight responsibilities, and coordinate defense strategies during parallel civil and criminal proceedings.
Corporate Governance and Restatements
Financial restatements draw intense governance scrutiny. We help boards investigate accounting issues, oversee disclosures, remediate control failures, and manage investor relations to restore confidence.
