Legal advice about corporate governance

Corporate governance is a collective term for the course of actions, procedures and initiatives that form an important part of a company’s management. Corporate governance revolves around how to organize your management structure and perform your tasks most appropriately. The focus is mainly on the relationship between owners, board of directors and the management but also includes the company’s relationship with other stakeholders.

Corporate governance is a flexible standard that should constantly reflect the best practice in management. Especially for companies publicly traded on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen, or similar market places, corporate governance is of particular importance.
