Corporate Governance

Corporate governance plays a very important role in the continuous functioning and successful existence of any corporate organization. This is why Bloomfield law has built a robust corporate governance practice which caters to the most complex and intricate governance challenges of top domestic and international companies.

We counsel boards of private and public companies and senior executives on a wide spectrum of corporate governance issues such as the structure and composition of the board, structure and constitution of board committees, remuneration of directors and senior executives, regulatory requirements, shareholder governance, duties of chairman and director, risk identification and management, compliance issues, and best practices. We also act as company secretary to numerous companies across the entire spectrum of business enterprise.

We help these organizations build a solid governance framework which complies with all applicable national and international laws and regulatory regimes and works in the best interest of the company. We are able to carefully identify regulatory pitfalls and compliance risks and provide the needed legal guidance to help our clients avoid and manage them, as the case may be. Our lawyers regularly interface with the Corporate Affairs Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria and other regulatory bodies, and have a clear understanding of their workings and latest trends, on which basis we advise and support our clients.
