Do you know:
- The difference between proxy solicitors and proxy advisors?
- Why inside votes are often the most difficult to get?
- Why certain shareholders can't be contacted by issuers?
- Where proxy solicitors get their information?
- What issuers can do to help anticipate activist challenges?
Having a proxy solicitor on board shows you are serious about corporate governance and knowing your shareholder base. They are valuable members of an issuer's team.
