Shareholder Activism – 2026 Mid-Year Review

Olshan Shareholder Activism partners Kenneth Mantel and Meagan Reda authored an article for the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance entitled “Shareholder Activism – 2026 Mid-Year Review.” In the article, Ken and Meagan discuss a number of key developments and themes from this proxy season, including M&A-related campaigns, c-suite turnover, regulatory changes, IPO corporate governance and innovations in shareholder engagement and voting. They highlight how activists have been adapting to uncertainties and changes in the market and regulatory environment, and will use both old and new tools and strategies to drive shareholder value.
