The recent release of two important commentaries on corporate governance offers an excellent opportunity for the general counsel to provide value to the board’s governance committee in the performance of its traditional charter responsibilities.
The first is the Commonsense Principles of Corporate Governance, prepared by a diverse consortium of leading corporate, finance and investment executives.

These include board composition, director responsibilities, shareholder rights, public reporting, board leadership, management succession planning and compensation of management.
