Corporate Governance in the New Shareholder Activism Landscape

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA  and Vintage 

In recent years, the landscape of shareholder activism has changed drastically.  Any company, regardless of size or financial performance, may become the target of shareholder activism.  A variety of issues may lead to these efforts of investors to influence a company’s decision-making and governance structure.  A company can take steps, however, to ensure they are effectively and competently handling their filing obligations under the federal securities laws to prevent or mitigate the impact of these situations, through accurate and complete filings, by knowing what and how much to properly disclose, and enhancing the quality of governance-related disclosures.
