Battle for the Board: proxy fights happen when shareholders rally to gain control of the company and its future. Even with the impact of COVID-19 on capital market activity, shareholder activism in the form of proxy battles is rising. Does that mean it’s getting easier to start a proxy fight? What factors are driving these battles? Join hosts Ailsa Bloomer and Andrew McCoomb as they ask Walied Soliman and Orestes Pasparakis, co-chairs of the firm’s Special Situations team, why Canada is experiencing more proxy fights, what tactics are deployed, and how can companies fight back. Walied is the chair of Norton Rose Fulbright Canada and chaired the Ontario Capital Markets Modernization Task Force. Orestes has been called the “go-to lawyer on any bet-the-company litigation file”, and together they have won some of Canada’s most complex corporate disputes.
