Our attorneys provide advice on all aspects of corporate governance. For public company clients, this includes compliance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the requirements of the NYSE and NASDAQ, as well as state corporate law requirements for officers and boards of directors and their committees. For private companies, this includes basic corporate formalities that must be followed within the company and among the directors. We also represent companies and individuals in litigation based on allegations of corporate governance failures.
