"Baker & Hostetler stands out because they are not only knowledgeable and skilled but they work to convey the style and culture of their client when they work on our behalf."
– Chambers USA 2021
BakerHostetler’s Corporate Governance team advises executives, directors, boards and special committees of a wide array of public and private companies concerning fiduciary responsibilities, internal conduct, dealing with stakeholders and proxy advisory firms, and other governance issues. We help clients establish governance policies and compliance programs, and conduct confidential investigations related to compliance concerns.
We serve extensively as independent counsel to boards or their committees when change-in-control matters involving conflicts of interest require an ability to negotiate complex issues of valuation, taxation, and compliance in a context of transparency and fair dealing. We have advised purchasers and special committees of sellers in going-private transactions with significant conflict of interest implications.
