Public Company & Corporate Governance

From SEC reporting to boardroom strategy, we help public companies manage risk, meet requirements, and build investor confidence.

The decision-making environment is constantly evolving, and navigating capital markets while complying with regulatory obligations is complex. The relationships and responsibilities that companies, boards of directors, and management teams maintain with shareholders and other stakeholders are significantly impacted by the changing corporate governance landscape, including state and federal law, SEC disclosure obligations, and securities exchange requirements.

Given that officers and directors need to be mindful of state corporate law principles, risks of shareholder claims, compliance with SEC regulations, activist investors, and the rising influence of proxy advisory firms, it is crucial to have experienced guides to help monitor and manage these responsibilities. 

Whether your company faces a complex transaction, compensation issues, potential conflicts of interest, disclosure obligations, or actual or threatened litigation, your company needs experienced public company and corporate governance lawyers to guide you.

At Reed Smith, our sophisticated cross-border corporate governance lawyers deliver innovative global solutions to boards, special committees, board committees, and management teams that address public company challenges and corporate governance challenges.
