Corporate Governance

Recent governance failures have driven an intense, and growing, focus on corporate culture and accountability, along with a global trend towards greater transparency and more rigorous risk management processes. In this environment, it is critical for companies to maintain the highest standards of governance and risk compliance to allow boards to be confident in their decision making.

We work alongside our clients’ boards, management and legal teams, providing tailored advice on legal and regulatory requirements, emerging trends and market best practice, including with respect to domestic and international corporate law and governance frameworks. We have particular expertise working with boards, general counsel, and company secretary and investor relations teams to advise on corporate governance and stakeholder engagement matters.

We advise on directors’ duties and liabilities, board composition and board policies, market disclosure and related procedures and systems, director and senior executive contracts and transitions, remuneration structures and disclosures, including employee share plans and incentive arrangements, annual reports and annual general meetings, shareholder meetings and communications generally and internal capital management initiatives such as buy-backs, capital reductions and dividend reinvestment plans.
