Corporate Governance

The Practice

Corporate governance in India is witnessing a massive overhaul of its governance framework and has received significant regulatory attention in the last few years. It is increasingly being seen as a difficult terrain to navigate given the rapid evolution of the applicable legal framework and judicial pronouncements. Our Corporate Governance Practice group brings together a deep and nuanced understanding of the law, practical judgment, innovative thinking and in-depth experience to advising listed companies, their shareholders as also counselling boards of directors, board committees and senior management in navigating through the relevant regulations and disclosure norms and possible enforcement actions by the Securities and Exchange Board of India and other regulatory and judicial authorities.

The Execution

We routinely advise many of India’s preeminent public companies and private companies, boards of directors, board committees and senior management on all aspects of corporate governance and managing high-stakes and time-sensitive risks. We counsel companies on board and board committee structure, representation and best practices, succession planning for senior management and directors, crisis management, related party transactions, investigations, enforcement and regulation and review of charter and bylaws.
