Shareholder Activism

Overview

With a number of successful proxy fights under our belt, we have the experience and legal acumen to guide you through the many legal issues activist investors are confronted with.  
Through our years of representing several hundred investment funds, we have developed a strong shareholder activism and activist investing practice along with expertise in the applicable securities laws, including Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act. Our lawyers have a broad range of experience representing both activist investors as well as public companies that have been the targets of activist investors. We have provided counsel relating to a variety of activities from low level agitation to full blown proxy contests and/or tender offers in an effort to take control of a company. Specific areas of our practice include:
  • Corporate Governance
  • Fiduciary Duties
  • Negotiating with management and board of directors
  • Demand/books and record requests
  • Shareholder resolutions and voting rights
  • Mergers and tender offers
  • Appraisal rights
  • Bondholder actions
  • Individual actions
