CORPORATE GOVERNANCE LAWYER

Companies of all types and sizes face pressure to maintain corporate governance standards.

In recent years, public scrutiny has increased, particularly pertaining to investors, management, and board structure of organizations. The best way for companies to develop and maintain a corporate governance strategy is to work with a skilled attorney. At LPJ Legal, our team is well known for our corporate governance practice. Our Washington DC corporate governance lawyer advises directors, officers, and shareholders on the rights and obligations of organizations. Corporate governance has always been an integral part of organizational strategy. However, in recent years, changes in laws have significantly increased just how important corporate governance really is.

What are Potential Corporate Governance Problems?

If an organization does not have an effective corporate governance strategy in place, the organization could be subject to investigations, litigation, and penalties.
