Corporate Governance and Compliance

At TaberPatrick, we understand that successfully operating a business involves more than just making products and driving sales. It also requires a deep understanding of corporate governance and compliance to ensure that your company is operating within the bounds of the law and adhering to best practices in the business world. Our team of experienced business attorneys at TaberPatrick in Hilton Head, SC, is here to help guide you through the complexities of corporate governance and compliance to help your business thrive.

Corporate governance refers to the systems and processes by which companies are directed and controlled. It encompasses the relationships between a company’s management, its board of directors, its shareholders, and other stakeholders. Strong corporate governance is essential for creating a transparent and accountable business environment, protecting the interests of shareholders, and promoting ethical business practices.

Compliance, on the other hand, refers to the act of following rules, regulations, and laws that govern your business operations. This can include everything from industry-specific regulations to federal and state laws that apply to businesses of all sizes. Failing to comply with these regulations can result in fines, legal penalties, and a damaged reputation for your company.
