Corporate Governance
The complex and ever-evolving regulatory environment today demands proactive legal advice to ensure that corporate governance matters are carefully and adequately addressed in your organization. Davis Graham advises both public and private companies with respect to a myriad of corporate governance issues, including:
- board composition, structure, and requirements;
- director and officer fiduciary duties and responsibilities;
- director, officer, and senior executives’ liability and insurance;
- shareholder activism;
- stock exchange requirements;
- codes of ethics and insider trading policies;
- regulatory and internal investigations;
- whistleblower procedures;
- litigation avoidance; and
- audit and independent board committee issues.
Our corporate lawyers work together with specialists in tax, executive compensation, securities compliance, litigation, and regulatory matters to provide our clients with the depth and breadth of expertise needed to navigate governance matters, including in the context of mergers, financings, acquisitions, dispositions, and other strategic transactions. Moreover, our longstanding relationships with many of our clients enable us to help our clients anticipate and identify issues before they arise.
When crises or other governance issues do arise – whether in the form of a hostile takeover attempt, a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigation, or a transaction with related-party issues – Davis Graham has experienced attorneys to guide our clients in navigating the situation and minimizing exposure.
