Corporate Governance Services
Navigate corporate governance challenges with trusted, objective guidance
Effective governance to build long-term resilience, helping boards navigate the increasing responsibility following from new regulatory requirements, risk management and stakeholder expectations.
What sets us apart: Integrated governance assistance across your business’ functions
We are dedicated lawyers and corporate governance professionals dedicated to helping companies navigate corporate governance challenges with the insights and solutions you need. We provide holistic governance solutions, including new director onboarding, assessments and advisory services. We integrate legal, organizational, and risk consulting capabilities so governance becomes a competitive advantage, not a constraint.
The importance of good corporate governance
In an era defined by regulatory volatility, geopolitical uncertainty and accelerating technological change, companies must rethink leadership, management and culture; yesterday’s playbooks, however successful, are no longer sufficient. Effective corporate governance is the engine of resilience, the strategic discipline that safeguards compliance, sharpens risk oversight, unlocks sustainable performance and builds lasting stakeholder trust.
How can we help with your governance transformation?
Our legal team works with boards, general counsels and risk and compliance leaders to design and implement practical governance that stands up to regulatory scrutiny, enables agile decision‑making, and sustains long‑term value. This is key to reducing liability, optimizing cost and managing risk.
We assist organizations and (supervisory) board members in designing and implementing effective corporate governance and compliance. Supported by our global network and enabled by our legal and governance technology, we combine legal expertise with organizational and risk advice to establish clear frameworks, roles, and oversight, and ensure timely communication about changes in laws, regulations, case law and market practices.

Board training
- Equip your board members with the right knowledge and understanding of their legal duties and help them navigate this complex regulatory environment and liability risks. Together with PwC Academy, our Legal team offers a wide range of board upskilling options in relation to specific new legislation, changing responsibilities and potential liabilities.
- We offer a specialized digital training on general duties and responsibilities, delivered through agile learning with 24/7 access to online training across 100 countries.
C-suite tool box
protecting your board members
Boards need more than a check-the-box evaluation or one-size-fits-all education. PwC helps boards assess effectiveness, deepen fluency on emerging issues, and turn insight into action through independent assessments, immersive director sessions, and tailored education grounded in our latest governance thought leadership.
- Onboarding support for new (supervisory) board members
- Advice on (supervisory) board composition, diversity, succession planning
- (Supervisory) board effectiveness assessments, performance monitoring, and board evaluation
- Taking a critical view to achieve improved performance: Organisations and individuals perform better if they regularly take a critical view of their own conduct and performance. As a result the Corporate Governance Code asks at least an annual review of the supervisory and management boards, as well as its members. We can assist with both independent board evaluations and self-evaluations.
- Review of culture and conduct:
In addition to board evaluations and self-evaluations, PwC is also able to develop other investigative tools that support internal supervision. What, for instance, is the situation regarding culture and conduct in the organisation that you are overseeing? Our Cultural Assessment provides an understanding of the extent to which the actual organisation culture is in line with the desired culture.
- Setting up supervisory board and related committees
- Board room dynamics
- Crisis management
Corporate governance operating model
Design and legal implementation of a corporate governance operating model and subsidiary governance frameworks. The implementation of a group wide and subsidiary governance framework is key to underpinning your corporate governance operating model, allowing for accurate stakeholder identification, a clear division of roles and responsibilities between stakeholders and the parent and subsidiary boards; providing a formal framework of governance controls and processes to ensure regulatory compliance.
Governance gap assessment
An assessment of your corporate governance structure and documentation against current and future laws and regulations and market practice. Based on the outcome, we develop and implement (subsidiary) governance frameworks, charters, policies, and other corporate documents and support with implementation.
Managed Legal Services
ongoing governance oversight and management
With the regulatory environment changing, your corporate governance operating model must remain agile to updates. Our Managed Legal Services provide ongoing assurance to your directors, stakeholders and regulators that your corporate governance controls and processes remain relevant, ensuring that the integrity of your local and global legal entity structure is not compromised.
Dutch Corporate Governance Code developments
Assistance with correct implementation of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code within your organization and advice in relation to the Dutch Corporate Governance Code application and requirements, including the “Verklaring Omtrent Risicobeersing”.
