During the last decade, corporate governance and the corporate and partnership laws in general have changed from sleepy topics to hot buttons in business law. Sarbanes-Oxley, audit committees, executive compensation, director independence, D&O insurance, indemnity provisions, whistleblowers, shareholder activism, self-dealing, and internal controls have become commonly discussed topics. We believe that this emphasis on corporate governance will continue and grow.
Clients seek our advice on these topics, as well as the usual questions, such as:
—“Corporation, partnership or limited liability company?”
—“Texas or Delaware?”
—“Who should be on the Board?”
Over the years, we have seen organizations that run properly and others that did not. Clients can come to use for advice on what works and what creates problems. Also, clients can look to us for guidance on the governance best practices that apply to their respective organization and circumstances. We can help each client decide what is needed, what is inadequate and what is overkill.
Our founder, Patrick Reardon, has written a book analyzing the corporate governance mistakes that led to the failure of Enron Corp. See Publications for two excerpts from this book.
We are able to do a good job of helping our clients avoid these problems
