Practice Areas & Industries: Miller Nash LLP

Practice/Industry Group Overview

Public and private companies and their officers, directors, and advisors are facing numerous questions about corporate governance and new SEC and securities exchange requirements. Corporate boards and their committees may need the guidance of independent legal counsel in dealing with accounting, financial reporting, or fiduciary issues. An individual named as a defendant or subpoenaed in a government investigation may also need separate representation. The labyrinth of SEC disclosure rules and their encroachment on such issues as board composition and independence has become even more difficult to navigate in the wake of Sarbanes-Oxley. Miller Nash has focused on these issues for many years, placing it in a unique position to help companies and individuals cope with their responsibilities during this time of heightened sensitivity and intense scrutiny.

Disagreements among business owners, partners, directors, officers, and shareholders are increasingly a fact of business life. Virtually any business, public or private, can become the subject of such litigation. If the parties are unable to resolve their differences, litigation may be the only recourse. Miller Nash is a popular referral choice for professionals, including accountants, bankers, and attorneys who have professional conflicts or do not have access to litigators with the necessary experience. Miller Nash attorneys have experience in resolving corporate governance disputes and defending companies and individuals faced with allegations of misconduct.
