Olshan's Activist & Equity Investment Practice Group is widely recognized as the nation's premier practice in representing activist investors in contested director elections and other shareholder activist situations worldwide. Our shareholder activist attorneys have unparalleled experience, both domestically and abroad, in counseling clients on a wide variety of activist strategies, from proxy contests, consent solicitations and hostile takeovers to letter-writing campaigns and behind-the-scenes engagements with management and boards of directors.
Olshan Again Ranked No. 1 Legal Advisor in Shareholder Activism
Olshan’s no. 1 ranking is highlighted in league tables and publications that cover shareholder activism, including FactSet, Bloomberg Activism Advisory League Tables, Refinitiv Global Shareholder Activism Scorecard, Activist Insight Monthly and The Deal Activism League Table. Chambers USA has consistently ranked Olshan's Shareholder Activism Practice Band 1, the guide’s highest ranking in the category of M&A Shareholder Activism, since inception of the category in 2017. Chambers noted in the comments that, "Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP is very strong in areas of strategy and precise execution. We have been consistently impressed with the depth and breadth of talent." The Legal 500 United States guide to leading law firms and attorneys has named Olshan's Shareholder Activism Practice as an Elite Tier 1 Leading Firm in M&A/corporate and commercial: Shareholder Activism - Advice to Shareholders since 2019. The publication affirmed "The Olshan team brings both deep and broad experience in the activist space.They are thoughtful, creative, and extremely responsive."
Proven Track Record
Our shareholder activist attorneys have been involved in seeking board representation at over 800 public companies, including some of the highest profile activist situations in recent years. We have achieved success on this front in over 90% of the situations in which our clients have nominated directors.
We advise leading activist investors on some of the most high-profile activist campaigns year-in, year-out. The Group has represented Starboard Value on its “historic” full board victory at Darden Restaurants; H. Partners on its successful, precedent setting withhold campaign at Tempur Sealy; Starboard Value in its successful settlement at Yahoo!; Elliott Management in its successful settlement at Alcoa, Inc.; Engaged Capital in its successful campaign at HeartWare International, Inc.; and George Feldenkreis, founder and former Executive Chairman of Perry Ellis International, Inc., in his nomination of directors and successful unsolicited acquisition of Perry Ellis.
Identifying Opportunities
We get involved early in evaluating a company's corporate governance profile and in identifying opportunities for effecting change. This includes assisting our activist clients in navigating the myriad applicable securities laws and proxy rules, and drafting and preparing Schedules 13D and Forms 13F, advance notice bylaw provisions, Rule 14a-8 shareholder proposals, "books and records" demands, and public and private letters to company management and boards of directors.
Proxy Contests
Our shareholder activist attorneys work closely with clients to develop a comprehensive proxy strategy, a roadmap tailored to the client's specific goals and designed to maximize results in a contested proxy solicitation or negotiated resolution. To that end, we thoroughly examine a company's organizational documents, corporate governance practices, and operational performance for structural vulnerabilities. This in-depth research helps us frame the issues and shape the messaging to be delivered to the company's shareholders.
On the public relations side, we draft and prepare fight letters, press releases and investor presentation materials, and walk our clients through presentations to ISS and Glass Lewis and other proxy voting advisory agencies. We have the in-house capability to help our clients prepare sophisticated investor presentations and white papers. We actively discuss and negotiate potential settlements with company counsel and when necessary, assist the proxy solicitor in helping to get the vote in. In short, our shareholder activist attorneys work strategically and tirelessly to give our client every possible advantage in its campaign.
Shareholder Engagements
Not all shareholder engagements escalate to proxy contests. Almost every activist involvement begins with private, behind-the-scenes engagement with a company's board, management and advisors. In addition to advising many of the nation’s most prolific activist investors, we also regularly represent the "occasional" or “reluctant” activist shareholder in their dealings with boards of directors and management teams. Olshan's Shareholder Activist team of highly skilled attorneys provides custom-tailored advice on all aspects of equity investments.
