Capital Markets / Shareholder Activism
We are one of the very few law firms in Israel to have played a role in shareholder activism matters.
Our team has led a number of high-profile local and cross-border challenges for control of Israeli public companies.
We represent activist investors and investment funds, advising them on a wide variety of activist strategies, including boardroom battles, hostile takeovers, and related court proceedings.
We have a proven track record of identifying opportunities to effect change for our clients, unlocking significant shareholder value, and procuring settlements with these activist investors.
At the same time, we understand the risks and challenges a company faces when activist directors serve on its board. Thus, we assist publicly listed and privately held corporations in creating strategies to minimize such risks, as well as prepare them for the possibility of an activist attack. We also provide ongoing advice to companies in defending themselves against potential and current proxy fights or other shareholder activism campaigns.
Micky Barnea, has over 30 years of experience advising on activism defense, takeovers, and corporate governance. An expert in this field, he speaks regularly about shareholder activism at conferences and panels. He is also frequently interviewed and quoted by the local media.
