Corporate governance

Corporate governance

Good governance is increasingly identified with good companies and is a topic of consideration for founders, investors and C-suite.

We regularly advise clients on corporate governance issues, including directors’ duties, secretarial issues and queries, constitutional matters, shareholder disputes and best practice.

Our team is also known for its expertise in advising on, and putting in place, efficient and effective corporate governance structures for family businesses and often works in collaboration with our Private Wealth team to this end.

Whether governance relates to structuring the set-up of a family office, advising on terms of reference or codes of conduct, helping family businesses with their constitutions or companies with shareholders’ agreements or appropriate committees and reporting lines, we are able to assist. We also provide advice to those on the wrong side of poor governance and advise in respect of disputes and breach of agreements.
