SRZ is one of the preeminent law firms in the activist-investing area. From providing strategic advice to litigation representation, we have become a destination firm for investors who want to maximize shareholder value through the utilization of activist tactics. SRZ has been involved in six of the highest-profile activist campaigns in recent years—CSX Corp., Time Warner Inc., H.J. Heinz Company, Kerr-McGee Corp., Target Corp. and The New York Times Co.
The wide range of activist investors we represent include both activist-only investors and “occasional activists.” Strategies are diverse, ranging from behind-the-scenes, long-term partnerships with management to public filings and proxy fights, from battles against announced mergers to demands for appraisal rights (to get full value for investments), from attempts to highlight a company’s assets, such as real estate, to efforts to increase value by changing management. From proxy fights to efforts to have corporations sell a division, complete a stock buyback or issue special dividends, among many other tactics, SRZ has extensive experience helping activists create shareholder value. We also regularly advise on federal securities law, state corporate law, Hart-Scott-Rodino, proxy rules and related matters, and handle any investigations or litigation arising out of our clients’ activist activity.
