Bloomberg Deals
Kirkland partner Shaun Mathew, who leads the Firm’s shareholder activism and hostile takeover defense practice, joined Bloomberg Deals with anchor Dani Burger to discuss what boards and management teams should expect this proxy season and how to respond effectively.
In a wide ranging conversation, Shaun addressed why activism remains elevated despite market volatility, how tactics are evolving as more traditional, non-activist investors adopt hedge fund playbooks, and what separates successful corporate responses from unnecessary capitulations.
