Corporate Counsel

At SJKP LLP, we understand that a company's success hinges not only on its business strategies but also on navigating the maze of regulatory compliance. Our team is a trusted ally in the boardroom, offering sound counsel to corporate directors, officers, and senior management on a broad spectrum of corporate governance matters.

We go beyond basic legal advice, helping boards tackle strategic challenges and address regulatory and disclosure requirements, such as SEC matters, stock exchange compliance, and guidance on foreign private issuers (FPI). From preparing critical proxy statements and earnings releases to conducting annual shareholder meetings and ensuring compliance with Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, we ensure that clients remain on the right side of the law while advancing their corporate objectives.

Our work also extends to crisis-driven disclosures, such as restatements following financial irregularities, investigations triggered by whistleblower complaints, or regulatory scrutiny following market-moving events. In these situations, we provide real-time advice that balances the legal risks with investor relations and reputational considerations.

Navigating the regulatory environment can be a daunting task for public companies, but SJKP LLP’s deep expertise offers clients unparalleled clarity and strategic advice. With a robust team composed of former senior SEC officials and top-ranked corporate lawyers, we are positioned to tackle even the most complex securities issues in real time.

We advise on periodic reporting obligations, shelf registration statements, debt offerings, and proxy contests, ensuring our clients anticipate risks before they become roadblocks. Our team also manages sensitive communications with regulators, including comment letter responses and confidential submissions, enabling smooth regulatory engagement.

At SJKP LLP, we recognize that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for public companies. We take the time to understand our clients’ unique business strategies, their internal policies, and the operational challenges they face. This intimate knowledge allows us to offer tailored legal advice that aligns with their long-term vision.

Whether clients are raising capital, buying or selling businesses, or encountering disputes, our team provides a full spectrum of services designed to meet their evolving needs. Our Public Company Representation lawyers work seamlessly with colleagues in Capital Markets, Finance, M&A, Litigation, Executive Compensation, and ESG to ensure that every step in a company’s lifecycle is addressed with precision and insight.

We also assist clients with shareholder engagement strategies, ensuring boards are prepared for activism, proxy advisory firm scrutiny, and evolving investor expectations. By helping companies maintain transparency and credibility, we strengthen their ability to pursue strategic initiatives without unnecessary distractions.

Clients rely on SJKP LLP because of our unique combination of regulatory foresight, litigation readiness, and commercial insight. We not only help clients meet their obligations under the law but also anticipate emerging risks that could impact their long-term value.
