Sullivan & Worcester LLP

The growing corporate governance practice at Sullivan & Worcester LLP does a lot of work with funds but also is active in the healthcare, energy, and biotechnology sectors.  The practice is heavily involved in the governance matters brought forward by John Hancock Insurance funds assisting independent directors and the board with risk management, beneficial cyber security protocols, and the satisfaction of fiduciary duties. Department head Nicole Crum has a wealth of investment management experience and handles the full spectrum of governance matters from the Washington DC office. Boston’s Howard Berkenblit is a capital markets specialist and frequently acts during IPOs and private placements to ensure that clients remain SEC and Sarbanes-Oxley compliant. In DC, David Leahy works predominantly with various investment and insurance funds, focusing on matters relating to the 1933 Securities Act and 1934 Securities Exchange Act. New York’s Dominic Pugliese, DC's David Mahaffey, and John Chilton round out the leadership group.
