Corporate Counseling, Governance and Compliance

We also provide guidance on the far-reaching obligations imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, including requirements related to disclosure controls, internal controls over financial reporting, and corporate governance. We regularly perform internal audits and investigations, and participate in enterprise risk management assessments, each designed to proactively uncover and resolve potential compliance issues. Our lawyers assist in the implementation of comprehensive, enterprise-wide corporate compliance programs covering a broad array of U.S. and EU legal and regulatory requirements. We also fashion remedial actions to enhance their compliance regimes and to mitigate the risk of loss due to noncompliance.

In addition, we provide both outside general counsel and outsourced general counsel functions for our clients. These functions range from corporate structuring, implementing intercompany arrangements, proper drafting and filing of corporate, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), and joint venture documents, as well as the commercial, strategic, executive employment, financing, licensing, and other agreements used in the operation of their businesses.
