Board Advisory and
Corporate Governance
A board member is personally liable. Not as a formality — but as a real exposure that can, in concrete situations, carry personal consequences. We advise boards and individual directors on legal duties, the duty to act and good corporate governance. And we participate directly as an external board resource — with commercial experience and legal insight from both sides of the table.
When to seek
advice
-
—
You sit on a board and are uncertain about the scope of your responsibility on a particular decision or in a difficult situation.
-
—
A potential conflict of interest has arisen on the board — and you are unsure whether and how it should be handled.
-
—
The company is experiencing financial difficulties, and you want to know when the board has a duty to act — and what the consequence of waiting may be.
-
—
Your company is about to bring in a new external board member and you want a clear framework for role, responsibility and remuneration.
-
—
Your company has grown to the point where the governance structure is no longer sufficient for its size and complexity.
-
—
You want ongoing legal sparring as an external resource on a board — and want to know what that requires and entails.
What we work with
Duties, liability, independence and insurance. We make sure you, as a board member, know the scope of your responsibility — and act in full accordance with it.
Meeting conduct, decision processes, voting rules and handling of conflicts of interest. Proper minutes are not bureaucracy — they are legal protection for each individual board member.
Counsel on disputes and damages claims against management. We assess the exposure clearly, coordinate with insurers and build a defence strategy.
Compliance with company law, the recommendations on good corporate governance, and implementation of governance structures tailored to the company's actual size and complexity.
We join selected boards as an external advisor and strategic sparring partner. A flexible engagement with real commercial and legal insight — not a mere compliance check.
CEO contracts, terms of employment, non-compete clauses and handling of management transitions. We make sure the process protects the company — and stands up legally.
What sets our approach apart
We know the decision room from the inside — as advisers and as active board participants. That makes for advice grounded in the board's reality, not only its formalities.
Board advice that takes commercial realities into account. Legally correct does not have to mean commercially inflexible — we find the line.
From ad hoc advice to permanent external board participation. We adapt engagement and fee structure to the company's size, needs and stage.
