Corporate governance
The legal landscape in the Netherlands is changing as the result
of numerous initiatives by the Dutch government to amend the rules
governing listed and non-listed companies. Corporate governance
will remain a key topic for the corporate practice. As a result of
the implementation of the Dutch corporate governance code as well
as the promulgation of codes for the not-for-profit sectors such as
health care, the new challenge for our clients is to comply
with these requirements while safeguarding their business
interests. Moreover, shareholder activism will grow in the
Netherlands, leading to increased
corporate litigation.
This dynamic environment demands the high-end expertise of our
corporate governance team. We have been instrumental in aiding
clients to navigate this environment. For our multinational
clients, our corporate governance team regularly assists in the
worldwide roll-out of a compliance program, in line with
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and similar foreign legislation. We are proud to
have acted for clients that have chosen to "do the right
thing" by combining their corporate governance obligations
with Corporate Social Responsibility.
