AWARDS & RECOGNITION
Highly regarded: Corporate Governance
Legal 500 US, 2021 - 2023
"The team is uniquely pragmatic in their approach to advising clients on issues and matters that present novel or complex situations. The team's global reach and resources means that they are prepared to handle any matter regardless of its size or scope."
"'Expert knowledge of subject matter, the ability to be responsive to questions that arise, and the depth of examples they share to support conclusions."
"I have found the attorneys in the practice to be professional, committed to client service, responsive and always open to dialogue. They are focused on legal excellence and ensuring that their clients get the best result possible. Additionally, the quality of the work product I received was excellent. It reflected a thoughtful approach and provided sufficient but not too much detail. The expertise the Public Company Advisory Group brought to bear on the work they conducted was unparalleled."
"This practice focuses not just on the regulatory compliance aspects of corporate governance, but also on in-depth board management. They provide expertise not just in advising on how to address a legal question, but how to present it to management and the board. They provide fully formed board decks customized around the issues we are addressing with the board and for hot topics, have slides on the shelf that allow inside counsel to leverage into quick responses. The team is also very adept at taking a practical and customized approach with their governance advice. They don’t just point to best practices or provide the advise that poses the least risk to them, but they seek to understanding the company’s size, stage of maturity, corporate values and management style to provide the appropriate advice for that company at that point in time. They are not afraid to dig in on understanding management team dynamics and board member dynamics to enable them to craft the most effective strategy for communication. I love that at the end of a conversation with them I have an answer, not just an understanding of the legal framework and issues around a question."
