Corporate governance has evolved significantly in the 21st century, driven by legal reforms aimed at enhancing transparency, accountability, and stakeholder engagement. This paper reviews the major legal reforms in corporate governance across different jurisdictions, assessing their effectiveness in promoting good governance practices. By examining key reforms in the United States, the European Union, and emerging markets, the paper identifies common themes, challenges, and gaps in current governance frameworks. The analysis highlights the impact of these reforms on corporate behavior and suggests areas where further improvements are needed to ensure robust governance in a rapidly changing global economy.
