About

An independent advisor — aligned to reduce your spend, not grow it

GovernOps brings consistency, visibility, and cost control to how companies with complex subsidiary structures manage legal vendors, external counsel, and entity-level governance.

Who's behind GovernOps

Built from the in-house side of the table

Tanya Bayeva leads GovernOps. An attorney by background, she brings 15+ years of in-house and Big Law experience across corporate governance, securities, transactions, and compliance. A significant focus of her in-house work has been overseeing subsidiary governance and the outside providers that support it across dozens of jurisdictions.

GovernOps draws on firsthand knowledge of how in-house teams manage governance workstreams, compliance processes, outside-counsel budgets, and provider relationships. Its focus is practical: making the operating model around subsidiary governance more efficient, visible, and affordable. The substantive legal work stays with your counsel; GovernOps optimizes the vendors, workflows, and processes around it. You work directly with Tanya from start to finish.

Track record & experience

Built on real, hands-on results

The engagement behind GovernOps

At Veritas Technologies, a global enterprise software company with operations in 35+ jurisdictions, Tanya led the consolidation and standardization of subsidiary-governance operations and vendor management, generating roughly 3× savings in routine governance spend while improving consistency and control. That work is the foundation of the GovernOps model.

Relevant operating background

  • 15+ years across senior in-house roles and Big Law
  • Subsidiary governance and entity management across 35+ jurisdictions

What GovernOps is — and isn't

The operating layer, not the legal substance

What we do

  • Rationalize vendors and external counsel relationships
  • Design engagement, approval, and escalation models
  • Build and standardize operating workflows

What we don't do

  • Provide legal advice or the practice of law
  • Replace your in-house team or outside counsel
  • Bill by the hour with an incentive to expand scope

Independent and consulting-only — fixed-fee, built to complement your team and end when the system works. GovernOps is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
