PRACTICE AREA

Corporate & Commercial

 

Lipa Meir & Co. has been advising clients on corporate governance and commercial matters long before the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other similar legislation put the practice area in the spotlight. Our lawyers have broad and deep experience guiding clients through evolving regulations and best practices in board operation, director responsibilities and shareholder relations, as well as the practical application of these standards in the context of specific business activity – whether securities offerings, M&A transactions, internal investigations or initiatives of shareholder activists, including proxy contests.
 
Our corporate governance practice includes lawyers from diverse practice areas in our offices who bring complementary insights to this discipline. Lipa Meir & Co. offers overseas companies specific expertise in the law of the world’s major financial centers and the ways that reforms will impact their business and interact with evolving home-country rules and practice.

We advise public and private corporate clients, institutional investors, board committees and individual officers and directors on the full range of matters that implicate governance regulation and best practice. A core element of our practice is also the representation of business and industry groups with respect to emerging regulatory initiatives and the development of practical solutions to address often-conflicting regulation of companies operating in a cross-border environment. And, as regulators worldwide have increased their enforcement resources and vigilance in protecting their home markets, even the best-managed companies face the prospect of enforcement action. Our clients regularly entrust us with some of their most sensitive enforcement matters and investigations.

Adv. Uzi Mor is the head of the Corporate & Commercial Department.
