About the Morgan Lewis Shareholder Activism Defense Practice |
| Morgan Lewis’s nationally recognized and rapid response shareholder activism defense practice is ranked near the top of most of the major league tables for activist defense law practices based on the number of publicly disclosed activism defense situations we have been involved in during the relevant period. Our shareholder activism defense practice advises public companies across the United States and abroad in a wide array of industries with respect to preparing for and/or responding to high-profile proxy contests, special meeting demands, consent solicitations, withhold and vote-no campaigns, shareholder proposals, and other activist shareholder campaigns as well as contests for corporate control and contested M&A situations. Our shareholder activism defense practice also advises on the latest techniques for lessening a company’s vulnerability to activist shareholders, strategic communications, shareholder engagement strategies, board composition enhancement programs, and corporate governance matters. |
