Our Corporate Governance Group

Our Corporate Governance practice involves both advisory and transactional assignments.  We provide advice to private, public and not-for-profit clients generally and, in particular, to boards of directors and trustees, committees of boards, management, shareholders and other stakeholders of public issuers.

Our Services in Corporate Governance

We bring to bear extensive experience together with "leading edge" knowledge of current developments in the corporate governance area, both in the Canadian and international contexts.  We are regularly involved in assisting clients with corporate governance issues relating to board and committee mandates and processes, governance policies, investigations, reviews and reports, director and officer liability issues, conflict of interest matters, and going private and related party transactions.  As well, our corporate governance advisory practice assists clients in identifying potential issues and arriving at appropriate arrangements to address concerns which arise.
