Good corporate governance and well-drafted commercial agreements reduce disputes, protect value, and build counterparty confidence. We advise boards, shareholders, and commercial teams on governance obligations, decision-making procedures, and the full range of commercial contracts - from supply agreements to joint ventures to franchise arrangements.
On the governance side, we advise on fiduciary duties, conflict-of-interest management, board-committee structures, and corporate-governance code compliance.
On the commercial side, we draft and negotiate supply, distribution, agency, franchise, outsourcing, and service-level agreements, tailoring each contract to the specific risk profile, regulatory environment, and commercial relationship.
