Corporate Governance (Sarbanes-Oxley)
Attorneys from Patton Boggs regularly advise private and public companies regarding general as well as complex corporate governance issues. For public companies, these issues include compliance with new SEC and stock exchange comprehensive standards for both officers of the company as well as the board of directors and committees of the board of directors. For private companies, this includes basic corporate formalities that must be followed within the company and amongst the board of directors.
Our attorneys regularly deal with issues arising under Sarbanes-Oxley and promulgations from the new Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Additionally, we have a particular focus on representing audit committees of public companies in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, as well as investigations into whistleblower claims and claims by shareholders alleging improprieties by the company, its officers or its board of directors. These comprehensive investigations draw expertise from both our securities and litigation departments.
The firm also has exceptional capabilities in regulatory compliance counseling. Our attorneys advise the officers and directors of publicly held companies on the SEC regulatory framework, including disclosure, reporting and compliance obligations under federal and state law.
