Corporate Governance

Latham’s global Corporate Governance group advises directors, boards, and senior executives on the full range of corporate governance matters that confront companies and their leadership — from board structuring and succession planning, to shareholder activism and SEC regulation. Drawing on our experience as seasoned counselors, we keep clients abreast of evolving trends and best practices to stay ahead of compliance issues.

When crises do arise, we call on Latham’s bench of corporate governance advisors, former SEC advisors and experienced litigators to guide clients through the storm and reach a safe landing. While fending off a hostile takeover attempt, navigating a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigation, or negotiating a key transaction with related-party issues may present novel challenges to many companies, our lawyers have seen it all and offer steady guidance.
