Morgan Lewis’s nationally recognized shareholder activism defense practice advises public companies 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 strategies for lessening a company’s vulnerability to activist shareholders, strategic communications, shareholder engagement, corporate governance, board composition enhancement, and board advisory matters.
