Special Committee Advisory
Goodmans regularly counsels special committees, independent directors and boards of directors on highly complex and sensitive matters. We provide advice in situations that are critically important to issuers and their directors, where director’s fiduciary duties are most crucial, including going-private, other related-party and conflict of interest transactions, corporate governance matters, investor initiatives, director and officer liability matters, internal investigations, as well as regulatory and judicial proceedings.
We guide clients with multidisciplinary teams that provide practical and thoughtful business judgment that allows special committees and boards of directors to address challenging situations in a confident and effective manner.
