We advise many of the world’s largest corporations and their constituencies – executive officers, boards, audit committees, other independent committees and investors. Our clients also include significant not-for-profit foundations and institutions.

We offer our clients clear, practical advice regarding the full spectrum of SEC disclosure and compliance matters. We provide “early warning” of new developments and help our clients prepare for a change in a considered way tailored to their business.

We are widely recognized as the preeminent corporate governance counsel, helping our clients combine best practices and practical judgment to withstand today’s heightened scrutiny and litigation risks. Our relationships with the institutional investment community, corporate governance ratings agencies, and advocacy groups provide our clients with a respected and credible partner in settling disputes and effecting governance changes.

Our group is positioned to respond rapidly and effectively to client needs, including crisis situations. We quickly assemble a team with the expertise the situation calls for, often working closely with our securities litigation, merger and acquisition, and restructuring colleagues.

Norman Veasey, former Chief Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court, and well-respected alumni of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including former Commissioner Harvey Goldschmid and former Corporation Finance Chief Counsel Cathy Dixon.
