Due to recent guidelines set forth by the SEC and the DOJ, plus, investors continual demand for improved corporate transparency; governance, oversight, and compliance have never been more important," said John McGonegal, Vice President, Board Services.
"Participation in the programs offered through this suite has been very valuable to our business," said Mark Ohringer, Executive Vice President, Global General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Jones Lang LaSalle.
