Shareholders are important stakeholders for every company and recent events have shown the risks a company faces in dealing with them. Shareholders are becoming more active and more aggressive, often using their influence to create short-term stock market gains rather than long-term value, or pursuing proxy fights based on their views of good corporate governance and good citizenship. Our expert panel discussed common approaches of shareholders; successful and unsuccessful responses to activist shareholders on a range of issues relating to conducting the annual meeting; proxy disclosure and solicitation issues; and the role of institutional shareholder services.

Annual Meeting 2006: In the event of a corporate failure, particularly one involving a failure of legal compliance, in-house lawyers may find themselves increasingly in the cross hairs. Expansive changes in attorney conduct regulation, fiduciary liabilities for gatekeeper failures, dawn file-raids, subpoenas for lawyers as witnesses, certifications without adequate sub-certifications, and even unsuccessful reporting-up-turned-retaliatory discharge all suggest that the potential for personal liability, fiduciary breaches, obstruction charges, and sanctions for in-house lawyers are on the rise. As general counsel, you owe it to yourself and your legal staff to understand trends, best practices, and helpful policies for safeguarding your law department and your lawyers’ exposure before a corporate failure, or even 20/20 hindsight, puts you in the cross hairs.
