We advise your company on governance, including the responsibilities of directors and executives, and draft the paperwork to formalize your policies.
Your company is complex, and must be managed pursuant to the applicanle law and regulation of your jurisdiction of registration and operating jurisdictions. Corporate governance lawyering starts with understanding the applicable regulatory framework, and, at its core, involves the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders within a corporation – its shareholders, board of directors, and officers. These roles and responsibilities are typically delineated within the corporation's bylaws and articles of incorporation.
One of the key aspects of corporate governance pertains to the fiduciary duties of the board of directors. Directors owe the corporation and its shareholders two primary duties: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires directors to make informed decisions, while the duty of loyalty requires them to act in the best interest of the corporation, not their own. Violations of these duties can lead to legal repercussions for the company, and sometimes its directors or executives.
Beyond these fiduciary duties, several other factors are crucial for effective corporate governance. For instance, it's important to have clear policies and procedures in place for shareholder meetings, board meetings, voting rights, and conflict of interest scenarios. Corporations must also adhere to certain reporting and disclosure requirements. In the state of Colorado, these guidelines are largely governed by the Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.) Title 7.
