Overview
Building a successful business requires an understanding of the rules and practices needed for directing and governing a company and meeting investor expectations. Founders, executives, directors and investors all have roles in the governance ecosystem. Getting the right systems in place early can help a company avoid missteps that may delay or frustrate growth. Good corporate governance need not be complicated to put in place. In this session, we focus first on the essentials, and then we explore how to build on them as your company is scaling up.
On Wednesday, March 27, Ryan Unruch, partner in Osler’s Emerging and High Growth Companies Group and John Valley, a partner in Osler’s leading Corporate Governance practice, hosted guest speakers Kirk Simpson and Peter Carrescia of goConfirm. During this seminar they explored the necessary components required to navigate corporate governance in a startup and high growth company.
