Corporate governance

We provide the solid legal foundations necessary to build a successful enterprise.

Corporate governance requires clarity, balance and accountability.

Good and effective corporate governance is essential for the sound management and long-term stability of a company. It requires a clear understanding of the roles of the various stakeholders involved, as well as the duties, powers and liabilities associated with those roles.

Whether establishing a governance structure for a new company or joint venture, or addressing questions arising within an existing structure, clarity at the outset is critical. Governance arrangements must be aligned with the ownership structure, the decision-making dynamics and the strategic objectives of the business.

Drawing on extensive experience with a wide range of corporate governance frameworks, we advise on the design, implementation and refinement of governance structures that are both legally robust and practically workable. Our advice is focused, strategic and tailored to the specific context and commercial needs of the enterprise.

We advise on:

  • One-tier and two-tier board structures
  • Management and supervisory arrangements
  • Allocation of control and decision-making powers
  • Directors’ duties, responsibilities and liabilities
  • Application of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code
  • Transparency, disclosure and reporting obligations
