Morgan Lewis - Shareholder Activism Defense: How Small-Cap Activism Defense Is Different from Large-Cap Activism Defense

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: How Small-Cap Activism Defense Is Different from Large-Cap Activism Defense."

This 60-minute webinar will provide an overview of how small-cap activism defense is very different from large-cap activism defense, including the goals of activist investors targeting small-cap companies compared to the goals of activist investors targeting large-cap companies, the unique vulnerabilities of small-cap companies, the strategies used in defending small-cap companies compared to those used in defending large-cap companies, and why an activist campaign is much more likely to be launched against a small-cap company than a large-cap company. 

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.
