Heightened public scrutiny and shareholder activism, new disclosure and legal requirements, and increased litigation risk have pushed companies to pay closer attention to their governance practices.
With our broad base of industry experience across legal disciplines, we offer governance solutions that align with the latest regulatory requirements and your strategic business goals.
We canvassed CEOs, CFOs, and other professionals involved in M&A activities with their respective firms to gauge their insights and perspectives on the M&A market in the coming 12 months.
The results provide a snapshot of the M&A market and the economy this year and how they compare from previous years.
We counsel boards of directors of public, private, and nonprofit entities to help them fulfill their fiduciary duties and responsibilities to stakeholders in a wide variety of circumstances, including:
