Corporate Governance

In the wake of the financial crisis and collapse of several large corporations, regulation of corporate governance practices in the United States has grown over the past few years. Reforms centering on the Dodd-Frank Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have put every aspect of a corporation’s relationship with its officers, directors, shareholders, and auditors under scrutiny. Now, more than ever, it is essential for corporations to have sound guidance and experienced counsel to help them navigate the complexities of corporate governance regulations.

Mintz Levin has been at the forefront of advising clients on the issues surrounding corporate governance, providing them with the guidance needed to ensure full compliance with the pertinent regulations.

Our attorneys can assist with your corporate governance compliance and practices by:

• Performing legal audits
• Acting as counsel to outside directors, including audit or compensation committees
• Preparing board policies with respect to financial reporting, whistleblowing and self-assessments
• Managing internal corporate investigations
• Developing compliance programs
• Implementing training and assessment programs
• Advising on related disclosure and reporting matters, including internal control reporting

The regulatory response to recent events is still evolving, and Mintz Levin expects this area to remain dynamic for some time to come. Over that time, we will continually provide updates via advisories, client alerts, and other publications, as well as seminars, to keep our clients and friends apprised of the impact these changes will have on their businesses.
