Corporate Governance & Compliance Legal Services
CORPIYA COUNSEL provides corporate governance and compliance legal services for growing companies managing an increasingly complex entity structure — board support, governing documents, and regulatory compliance oversight, delivered by a New York–licensed attorney on a flat-fee basis.
What Is Corporate Governance & Compliance Counsel?
As a company grows past a single entity, governance stops being a formality and starts being a risk-management function: clean bylaws and resolutions, a defensible board process, and a reliable way to track compliance obligations across every entity you operate. Corporate compliance legal services keep that structure sound as the company scales — not just documented, but actively advised on.
This is legal counsel, not software. If you’re looking for a system to track filing deadlines and ownership data day to day, that’s a different (complementary) tool — see the note on entity management technology below. This page covers the legal advisory side: what your governance structure should look like, what a given compliance obligation actually means for your business, and how to fix a gap before it becomes a problem.
What’s Included in Our Governance & Compliance Services
Corporate compliance legal services covering board process, governing documents, and regulatory tracking
Board & Governing Document Support
Bylaws, board and shareholder resolutions, meeting minutes, and governing document review — kept current as the company changes.
Multi-Entity Governance Frameworks
A consistent governance structure across parent and subsidiary entities, so authority and decision-making stay clear as you add entities.
Regulatory & Compliance Monitoring
Ongoing tracking of the regulatory obligations that apply to your business, with issues flagged before they become penalties.
Annual Compliance & Corporate Filings
Review and coordination of state and federal filings, registered agent matters, and annual compliance requirements.
Policy & Internal Governance Documentation
Corporate policies and delegation-of-authority documentation that give your team clear rules to operate by.
Entity Restructuring Support
Legal support for entity consolidations, dissolutions, and reorganizations as your corporate structure evolves.
Who Needs Governance & Compliance Counsel
Governance risk tends to show up quietly, then all at once — usually right when it’s most expensive to fix
- Companies with multiple entities or subsidiaries that need a consistent governance framework across all of them
- Boards that need formal governance support without hiring in-house counsel
- Companies preparing for a financing round, audit, or acquisition, where clean governance records matter to diligence
- Businesses that have outgrown handling governance ad hoc, only when something comes up
- Companies using (or considering) entity management software that still need a legal advisor to interpret what the data means
Governance Software vs. Governance Counsel
The two work together — they’re not the same thing
Entity Management Software
Tracks filing deadlines, ownership data, directors and officers, and compliance status across your entities in one system. Corpiya’s Entity Management System is built for exactly this.
Corporate Governance Legal Counsel
Advises on what your governance structure should look like, drafts and reviews the underlying documents, and interprets what a compliance gap actually means for your business — the layer software alone can’t provide.
Led by a New York–Licensed M&A Attorney
Corpiya Counsel’s governance and compliance services are led by Sebastien Gaddini, a member of the New York Bar since 2010 with more than 20 years of corporate legal and executive experience advising Fortune 100 companies, private equity firms, and multinational corporations on governance and high-value transactions.
Governance & compliance counsel included from every plan
Corporate compliance legal services are included from our Essentials plan up, with multi-entity governance and board support added at higher tiers — flat-fee pricing from $4,999/month.

What is corporate governance and compliance legal support?
It’s ongoing legal advisory work on your company’s governing structure and regulatory obligations — keeping bylaws, resolutions, and board process sound, and making sure compliance deadlines and filings are tracked and understood, not just logged somewhere.
What’s the difference between governance software and governance legal services?
Software like an Entity Management System tracks the data — deadlines, ownership, entity records. Governance legal services are the advisory layer on top: deciding what your governance structure should be, drafting and reviewing the documents, and interpreting what a flagged issue actually means for your business.
How often should governing documents be reviewed?
At minimum annually, and any time there’s a material change — a new entity, a change in ownership, a new board member, or a financing round. Waiting until diligence for a deal or audit is the most common (and most expensive) time companies discover their documents are out of date.
Do you help set up governance for a new multi-entity structure?
Yes. We work with companies expanding from a single entity into a multi-entity structure to design a governance framework — authority, reporting lines, and documentation — that stays consistent as more entities are added.
What happens if we miss a compliance filing?
Consequences range from late fees to loss of good standing to more serious complications during a financing round or sale. The goal of ongoing compliance monitoring is to flag a deadline well before it’s missed, not to clean up after the fact.
Is this included in a Fractional GC or Subscription Legal Services plan?
Yes. Governance and compliance support is part of every Corpiya Counsel engagement, whether you think of it as a Fractional General Counsel relationship or a Subscription Legal Services plan — the two are different framings of the same flat-fee model.
