A practical advisory perspective
Andre’s governance work draws on private practice, prior in-house counsel experience and work with owner-managed businesses. The focus is practical: helping boards, principals and management teams understand legal obligations while moving important decisions forward.
When should a private company formalize its governance?
Governance becomes especially important when ownership expands, investors are introduced, major financing or transactions are contemplated, or decision-making among shareholders becomes more complex.
