"The team is incredibly responsive and knowledgeable of their subject area, and they communicate well among themselves. I have been very impressed with the firm as a whole."

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.
