corporate governance

We have been consulted by a number of our regulatory clients in relation to their corporate governance. We are currently assisting two regulators (one of which is a relatively new regulator) in the drafting of a suite of governance and framework documents.

In addition we provide a significant volume of advice to public and voluntary sector organisations on governance and compliance issues.

We advise a wide range of organisations in the public and voluntary sector on the powers and responsibilities of their governing bodies and the proper delegation of powers within their regulatory and constitutional frameworks. This includes drafting and updating schemes of delegation and advising on best practice.

We have advised a number of organisations in the preparation of their standing orders and ensuring their standing financial instructions conform to best practice guidance including, where appropriate, advice on legal, regulatory and HM Treasury requirements.

We advise on the drafting of detailed conflict of interest policies for governing bodies and on issues that can arise in managing conflicts. We are fully conversant with the Seven Principles of Public Life and with the two reports of the Nolan Committee. We are also familiar with provisions of the Public Interest Disclosure Act.

If we can help you, please contact Bradley Albuery, Chris Alder or Nick Leale in the Professional Regulatory team.
