Investor Activism
Wildeboer Dellelce has a diverse and dedicated practice in the area of investor activism. We represent investors based in Canada and the U.S. in both friendly and contested situations, as well as contending with activist investors. We have advised in situations that play out in public forums and have managed situations that resulted in negotiated settlements.
Our experience covers a broad spectrum of public issuer situations:
- Requisitions and proposals
- Contested director elections and proxy contests
- Acting for special committees tasked with managing activist situations
- Settlement agreements and advising clients at contested meetings
- Analyzing atypical situations and determining the applicable legal solutions.
Our expertise also extends to contested public transaction regulatory compliance (with a particular knowledge of regulated financial institutions), situations involving both regulatory and court supervision and advising clients in a variety of private company disputes.
