Activism Defense

Paul, Weiss offers a highly experienced shareholder activism defense practice. We help public companies and their boards prepare for, respond to and navigate activist share accumulations, settlements, proxy contests and other hostile campaigns by activist investors. We are deeply familiar with the activist investor playbook, whether the focus is changes to management or directors, a shift in strategy, return of capital, operational changes or pursuing a takeover, break-up or sale of a company. Importantly, we take a commercial, problem-solving and situation specific approach to assessing, advising on and implementing the best way forward.
