Your partner through life as a public company: your business first – the rules, regulations and trends interpreted for you
Public companies face increasing pressure to act with speed, transparency and confidence amid evolving regulatory, market and stakeholder demands. Our Public Company Advisory team helps boards, management and in-house legal teams of US-listed companies, including foreign private issuers, satisfy compliance obligations, strengthen governance and make well-informed decisions.
We serve as outside counsel to management teams, boards of directors and special committees of more than 100 public companies, helping them navigate a complex regulatory and governance environment. Our practice operates as a natural extension of our Capital Markets practice – the team that advises on your capital raise will continue to guide you through life as a public company, from day-to-day SEC reporting, strategic business transactions, shareholder engagement, to crisis management and other high-stakes situations.
Corporate governance sits at the heart of what we do. We advise boards and committees on director selection, governance guidelines and best practices, director duties in an ever-shifting business and regulatory environment, board composition, shareholder engagement, activism defense and governance framework reviews. We help clients navigate overlapping governance requirements and expectations across jurisdictions, including US securities laws, NYSE and Nasdaq listing standards, ISS and Glass Lewis policies, institutional investor voting guidelines, and other international regulatory and governance frameworks, as well as evolving areas such as cyber and AI.
