Corporate Governance & Compliance

Governance work is usually invisible until something goes wrong: a board decision taken without authority, a related-party transaction nobody disclosed, a policy that exists on paper but was never implemented. Our practice builds and reviews the governance framework that keeps those situations from arising, and advises boards and management when they already have.

We advise on board composition and committee structure, delegation of authority, shareholder and board meeting procedure, conflicts and related-party regimes, and the disclosure obligations that apply to regulated and publicly held entities. For groups operating across several jurisdictions, we align the local framework with group policy without producing a document that cannot be complied with in Jordan.

On the compliance side, the work covers anti-bribery and anti-money-laundering programmes, sanctions screening, data protection, whistleblowing channels, and the training and documentation that make a programme defensible. Where an issue has already surfaced, we conduct internal reviews and advise on remediation and regulatory engagement.

A programme is only worth what its evidence trail proves. We build governance and compliance frameworks so that the decision, the information it was based on and the approval that authorised it are all recorded at the time — because a board that cannot show how a decision was reached is in a materially worse position than one that reached a debatable decision on a documented basis.
