Beyond Governance - A Canadian Perspective On Preempting Shareholder Activism Through Value Creation 

Walied Soliman, Peter Buzzi, Vinay Shandal

On September 30th, we hosted a webinar in collaboration with The Boston Consulting Group and RBC Capital Markets. Our presenters emphasized that good governance practices are vital in developing a sound defense against shareholder activism, but they should not be relied upon as a company's sole fortification. The most effective defense is to create sustainable shareholder value.
