Corporate Governance and Securities Regulation

Why Cooley

Cooley’s corporate governance and securities regulation practice encompasses the full scope of essential governance issues – serving as advisory and compliance counsel on corporate policies, bylaws, corporate social responsibility and governance matters in the context of transactions, litigation and employee benefits.

With a focus on collaboration across disciplines and providing integrated, practical solutions, we advise management teams and boards of directors on the wide array of corporate governance and regulatory issues they face at crucial points in the company life cycle. These issues range from “early days” guidance on board composition, including leadership structures, director independence and qualifications, to high-stakes matters for more mature companies, including proxy contests and shareholder rights issues, white collar defense and investigations, and securities litigation and enforcement.
