Shareholder Rights, Activist Strategy, and Mergers and Acquisitions Litigation

We provide return-enhancing strategies across the spectrum of shareholder rights arising from underpriced mergers and acquisitions or from large or concentrated positions in underperforming companies. Our analysis is not limited to one kind of claim or one kind of case–we take a holistic approach to enhance investor returns and protect investor rights in each deal or situation. Our lawyers have extensive experience litigating shareholder activism matters in all courts, particularly the Delaware Court of Chancery where most of these matters are brought.

For historical holders looking to become activists, we manage the process of 13D filings, issuer communications, proxy fights, and, if necessary, shareholder litigation. We also help structure resolutions designed to enhance board accountability and maximize shareholder value. Our team also has extensive experience litigating over broken transactions and counseling investors about the implications of mergers that have run into trouble.

No matter the shareholder strategy your fund is looking to pursue, you benefit from a holistic approach with lawyers who consider the full set of potential options to bring about the result you and your investors seek. That approach is baked into every analysis we provide.
