Law360 published an article written by Mintz Members Jacob Hupart, Ellen Shapiro, and Associate Will McKitterick about the role ESG considerations continue to play in shareholder activism and proxy battles. The article also examines how recent regulatory and political developments have raised the bar for ESG-related proposals, influencing both strategy and outcomes.

The authors point to sustained interest in ESG-related reforms, writing, “Corporate appetite for such reforms, if anything, continues to grow, particularly as the economic and business relevance of ESG issues becomes more apparent among the business community. Proxy battles remain a relevant avenue for effecting corporate reform at the shareholder level.”
