Corporate Governance

Sherman & Howard's Business & Corporate Practice Group is experienced at handling issues of corporate governance for both publicly-held and private companies. Our attorneys emphasize the proactive adoption of measures to keep up with regulatory change in the corporate landscape, including legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as the governance and compliance standards set by state legislatures, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the stock exchanges. We work with the Colorado and Delaware organizational statutes on a daily basis. We advise businesses, their directors and their shareholders with regard to the fiduciary duties of officers and directors, methods of leadership, adoption of clear corporate policies, adoption of compliance systems that can be updated as needed, and the best practices for engaging in legal and ethical conduct designed to increase productivity. When necessary, we are ready to assist clients who come under regulatory investigation, and we have substantial experience defending clients against claims for breach of fiduciary duties as defined by common law.
