Corporate Governance
LAW 707 | 2 Hours
Corporate Governance is regulated and informed by a complex body of law and regulatory standards promulgated by various sources. As lawyers advising corporate boards and executives, we must be familiar with the applicable corporate statutes, federal regulatory schemes such as the Securities Acts, Sarbanes-Oxley, and Dodd-Frank, stock exchange listing standards, and standards from other quasi-governmental entities. In the course, students will learn how to translate all of the above into “best practices” for corporate clients which also take into account the political and economic considerations underlying many decisions on corporate governance.
