Morgan Lewis - What You Need To Know About Shareholder Activism Preparedness And Defense For Small-Caps

Please join Morgan Lewis corporate partner and shareholder activism defense practice leader Keith E. Gottfried and corporate partner Sean M. Donahue for the webinar, “Shareholder Activism Defense: What You Need to Know About Shareholder Activism Preparedness and Defense for Small-Caps."

All too often shareholder activism is thought of as “one size fits all” when, in fact, it varies greatly depending on whether the target company is a small-cap or a large-cap. Join us for this 60 minute webinar as we examine these critical differences, including why the majority of activism campaigns are at small-caps, the goals of activists targeting small-caps, how activists approach small-caps differently than large-caps, the unique vulnerabilities of small-caps, and strategies for small-caps to prepare for, and respond to, activists.
