Corporate Governance

We provide comprehensive legal counsel on intricate issues frequently encountered by directors and officers in their pursuit of governing companies with integrity and efficiency. Our attorneys not only have the experience to advise insurance company corporate boards deftly, but they also work with those board members, directors, and officers to create training and game models to prepare corporate leadership for the challenges and opportunities of modern governance.

Overview

Counseling boards of directors of nonprofit organizations on how to fulfill their duties and responsibilities is one of our longtime strengths. We lead our clients to the adoption of corporate governance best practices and understand the dynamic pressures the executive team and board members face. Our services are designed to alleviate the fears and burdens associated with complex legal responsibilities, allowing leaders to focus on managing their companies.

We regularly advise boards, committees of the board and senior executives on today's most important governance matters impacting their organizations. These challenges include fiduciary duties of directors, board structure and organization, board committee structure and charters, board and committee self-evaluations, audits of governance practices, strategic planning, board and executive succession planning, risk management (including cyber risk), conflicts of interest, and board practices and procedures. Our attorneys also spend countless hours learning about trends and new opportunities in the industry to help prepare boards for what to expect next.
