Corporate Governance and Fiduciary Duties

The very cornerstone of organizing a business as a limited liability entity is the protection it affords its stockholders and other owners. Such protections are best assured by developing and consistently implementing corporate governance procedures which comport not only with applicable state and federal laws, but with the objectives of the business.

Our business attorneys regularly advise boards and other governing bodies on governance matters, including in the development of appropriate organizational documents, bylaws and operating agreements, policies and procedures, resolutions, and best governance practices. In addition, we work diligently with corporate boards of directors, officers, and managing members, among others, to define their scope of responsibility and to ensure that they faithfully comply with their fiduciary responsibilities.

When irregularities in corporate activities are identified, our attorneys assist in assessing the situation and in developing the most effective strategy to address the problem. Understanding that internal strife can be disruptive to the operations of a business, we work swiftly and discreetly to minimize the impact of such improprieties on the company’s operations. We always strive to help resolve issues amicably and without resorting to litigation, but if necessary, our team of commercial litigators stand ready to pursue court intervention when necessary.
