How the SEC Is Making it Harder To Exclude Shareholder Proposals and What This Means for ESG This Proxy Season
The SEC’s Rule 14a-8, which gives shareholders the right to put proposals to a vote of other shareholders, was adopted to allow shareholders access to other shareholders and management, BlackRock Head of External Affairs Dalia Blass explained. But it came with some protections to prevent proposals that would be a waste of time, such as those that had little to do with the company’s business. Ahead of the 2022 proxy season, the SEC changed its approach, making it harder for companies to exclude shareholder proposals, even highly prescriptive or granular, micromanaging measures.

Week 16, Part 1: Look for Unanimity, if You Can Find It
A little-known clerk inscribes the parchment we all know. Franklin urges unanimity in supporting the Constitution and proposes a convenient form of signing, but Randolph, Gerry, and Mason aren’t impressed. Washington speaks up for a more representative House, and a final alteration is made. The delegates sign, with three holdouts. Franklin has the last word and speaks of a rising, not setting, sun. The delegates gather one last time at City Tavern.

I've been practicing law in Cobb County in Metro Atlanta for 13 years. I've left the firm I was with to start a new firm and we started on January 1, 1984. And I took with me 2 legal assistants and I told them at that time that I wasn't even sure we're able to pay them the first month, and they came anyway. And fortunately, we were able to pay them and me a little bit too. And we have never looked back since that time. My vision when I started this firm was that we would have a law firm based on...

PLC Event 2013 – Enabling technology vs. constraining regulation: An uncomfortable path to 2020? – Key Note
Technology is liberating organisational and personal interactions from generations of constraints.

Social Media Governance – The In-house Lawyer’s role
As businesses cultivate their social media presence, the related brand, data and risk management challenges have increased. Establishing enterprise-wide social media governance is becoming a key objective for many firms. Although social media engagement involves legal issues, its evolution and management within a business is principally driven by opportunity rather than risk. This can leave in-house counsel fielding the consequences of decisions rather than being involved in the planning. For those reasons, developing and implementing effective social media governance is a legal as well as commercial goal. In this session, IP and technology lawyers from our Social...

Many of them have drastic implications for employers and employees. In this session, split into three parts, we will update you on recent developments in employment case law, move on to consider the key legislative changes and proposals, and round up with a lo...

In contrast, those that do understand the opportunities are reaping rewards and gaining a competitive advantage. In this session, speakers from our Corporate Tax (Michael Cashman) and Intellectual Property teams (Paul Garland and Suzy Schmitz) will provide insight on the application of tax regimes to Intellectual Property.
