Corporate Governance

Overview

Adams & Reese helps companies build governance frameworks that meet legal and regulatory requirements while adapting to evolving legal standards. Our attorneys provide strategic counsel on compliance, risk management, and board oversight, ensuring clients can confidently manage their businesses while meeting stakeholder expectations. With experience across industries and support from our government relations team, we develop governance programs that align with both immediate business realities and long-term challenges.

Government Design & Assessment

We work closely with clients to develop, assess, and implement governance programs tailored to their organizational structures and industries. As laws and regulatory priorities shift, companies must adapt quickly. Our attorneys regularly draft, revise, and update governance documents including charters, bylaws, and other governing documents.

Risk Mitigation & Dispute Resolution

Corporate governance challenges can quickly escalate into regulatory scrutiny, shareholder disputes, and even litigation. Adams & Reese provides proactive counsel to help companies safeguard their leadership structures, protect shareholder value, and respond effectively to business threats. When governance-related disputes arise, we develop tailored defense strategies, prepare breach and incident response plans, and advocate for clients in negotiations, arbitration, and litigation.
