Shareholder activism is firmly entrenched in the Canadian corporate landscape, and Canada has proven fertile ground for dissidents. To assist both target companies and activists, we’ve prepared a concise but comprehensive overview of the key tactics and related legal issues that are critical to shareholder activism in Canada.
Our guide spotlights the different maneuvers either side can expect – and should prepare for – during an activist campaign. We’ve also tackled these issues from a practical perspective, highlighting the offensive strategies available to activists as well as the defensive tactics available to targets.
Public companies and their directors will also benefit from our Directors' Handbook: Shareholder Activism, which focuses specifically on strategies available to boards looking to bolster their defences against dissident campaigns.
