Corporate Governance Attorneys in California

Headquartered in Orange County, We Serve Businesses Throughout California

Trusted by Corporate Law Clients Since 1996

Effective corporate governance entails adherence to the corporate formalities mandated by the California Corporations Code, as well as compliance with relevant case law. It involves operating in accordance with the restrictions outlined in the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Any actions undertaken by the corporation must receive proper approval from officers, the board of directors, or majority shareholders, depending on the nature of the action. In many cases, written records are also necessary. Similar requirements exist for limited liability companies and partnerships. 

Adams Corporate Law is proud to offer assistance to California clients who need the guidance of an attorney to assist them in fulfilling these obligations and complying with governing documents and applicable laws to ensure that all processes are executed correctly and are enforceable. Our assistance at your disposal means your corporate house will stay in order and help protect you and your management team from creditor efforts to pierce the corporate veil and shareholder claims for breach of fiduciary duties.

We can help your California business with governance matters including:

  • Board and shareholder meeting management
  • Corporate cleanup and compliance
  • State and Federal securities compliance
  • Compliance with fiduciary obligations
  • Acting as independent counsel for special investigations
  • Avoiding unauthorized ultra vires corporate action
