Overview
Carlton Fields counsels public and private companies on corporate governance and fiduciary duties.
We advise boards, directors, and executives on matters that confront companies and their leadership, from board structuring and succession planning to SEC regulation and extraordinary corporate transactions. Our team counsels clients regarding governance in the context of duties of directors in change-in-control transactions; executive succession; financial reporting irregularities; internal investigations, including those by special committees of boards of directors; and auditor independence.
We also monitor and advise clients on evolving best practices and corporate governance developments. Our work also covers the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, director confidentiality policies, and indemnification agreements for directors and executives.
