Activist Counsel & Defense
Differentiated IR Experience Crisis Firms Can’t Match
The first day a company receives an investor activist letter or phone call is usually a very scary one, but sadly it’s becoming a more common event than ever as activist firms have grown in both number and size.
Our leaders have counseled companies involved in very public and hostile activist situations, and also those that were very private and cooperative.
We’ve even counseled activist events involving whistle-blowing situations and prolonged forensic accounting analyses.
Every activist situation is different, but the key is to uncover the true motivations of the investor and take the emotion out of the picture.
Most situations can be handled fairly openly as the broader investor community will always have a longer-term investment horizon than the activist.
With a true IR specialty and a complementary set of PR counselors, the Alpha team has the right experience and senior approach to help you through any activist situation.
