Corporate Governance and Board Advisory
Boards of directors and members of senior management regularly call upon Cravath in connection with SEC and other governmental investigations, accounting and executive compensation issues, shareholder demands and derivative litigation, proxy contests and many other situations involving difficult governance issues. These engagements range from prospective counseling on risk management, disclosure or other compliance matters, to fact‑finding exercises with respect to potential violations of laws or regulations, to managing responses to governmental authorities and related private litigation. For its acclaimed performance and reputation, the 2013 edition of U.S. News‑Best Lawyers’ “Best Law Firms” ranked Cravath’s corporate governance and board advisory practice in the highest tier for New York firms.
