Corporate Governance

We help our clients build a solid foundation for long-term success. We provide comprehensive corporate governance solutions, covering every aspect of your governance needs, from conducting thorough audits to providing strategic advice on board composition, structure, and processes. This includes advising on directors’ duties and liabilities, board composition and board policies, membership qualifications, nominating procedures, committee structures, agenda setting, and investor relations.

We are trusted advisers to our clients for high-stakes strategic corporate actions, such as mergers, divestitures, restructurings, and hostile takeovers, which often involve highly complex legal, financial, and regulatory elements. We leverage on our deep familiarity with corporate governance frameworks and the legal aspects of the transaction, to help clients structure the transaction in a way that minimises risks, ensures compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and achieves the financial and strategic outcomes to best address clients’ concerns.

We provide ongoing advice on technical disclosure and governance requirements, particularly in critical areas such as changes in control, executive succession, financial reporting irregularities, leadership conflicts, shareholder activism and strategic decision-making. We also prepare essential documentation, including terms of references, corporate policies, and codes of ethics for corporations and financial institutions.

In times of corporate crisis, such as regulatory investigations, cybersecurity attack, or a financial scandal, we offer comprehensive and integrated legal solutions by combining the expertise of our lawyers across various practice areas to help clients navigate the complex legal and regulatory landscape which includes managing public relations, disclosure to regulators, and liaising with law enforcement if needed. We also advise on new governance controls to prevent future crises.  

Furthermore, we offer customised board and director training, ensuring that leadership teams are fully equipped to handle governance challenges with expertise and confidence.
