Public companies and their in-house counsel face new challenges as activist shareholders are demanding a greater voice in the boardroom. At the same time, engaged shareholders and their counsel tread the mine field of regulation as they seek to influence the governance agenda in the companies they own and to hold boards and management accountable for underperformance. Recently, some of the most high profile proxy contests have involved U.S. hedge funds targeting Canadian public companies. In this panel, hedge fund in-house counsel will face off against public company in-house counsel, fresh from their recent battles, to share their experiences and insights gained. Outside counsel with experience on both sides of the fight will discuss how in-house counsel can successfully steer their boards and management through the process.
