Board-level decisions demand speed and certainty. Our corporate advisory and governance practice advises public and private companies, senior management and boards of directors on a broad range of governance and compliance matters.

Our offering covers everyday issues as well as time-sensitive, event-driven challenges. We combine current best practices with pragmatic advice, bringing our judgment to help clients address a broad range of issues, from everyday governance questions to delicate situations that pose reputational, regulatory or liability risks.

We do not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather provide tailored guidance at every stage of a company’s life cycle, including advising:

• Boards of directors on satisfying their fiduciary duties in connection with critical, high-profile issues and oversight in an environment where the risk landscape is constantly evolving.

• Private companies at varying stages of growth on size-and-stage-appropriate governance structures (including the creation of separate share classes with differing control and economic rights), intra-group reorganisations, share capital reforms—including redemptions and capital reductions—and transitioning from private to public.

• Public companies of various sizes on routine reporting and disclosure obligations, stakeholder engagement and ESG trends and developments, and strategy and execution on crisis management and litigation scenarios.

Our integrated corporate advisory and governance offering includes:

• Public and private company corporate governance matters.

• Reporting and disclosure obligations.

• Succession planning.

• Board and committee advice.

• Shareholder litigation.

• Capital markets and securities offerings.

• Strategic and related party transactions.
