The Corporate Governance Guide began when our corporate lawyers organized themselves around the corporate scandals that emerged in late 2001 and the swift responses of the stock exchanges, Securities and Exchange Commission, and other regulators, and eventually the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We created the Guide to have in one easily accessible place, often detailed components of the compliance and governance environment. We organized the Guide contextually, so you can readily access the material you need for answers in the same context in which the questions arise. Our aim has been to keep it simple and easy to use.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
