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.
