Activist shareholders acquire significant stakes in publicly traded companies for reasons ranging from making short-term profits on share prices, increasing companies’ profitability over the long-term, and changing companies’ policies in order to comport with the shareholders’ social and environmental goals. Given these disparate motivations, activist investors unsurprisingly are perceived by various stakeholders as threats to be avoided, part of the current landscape, and powerful forces motivating social responsibility. The symposium will allow regulators, attorneys, academics, and business professionals to share their unique views on this important aspect of modern business and law. Speakers include: Afra Afsharipour, UC Davis, School of Law Jordan M. Barry, University of San Diego, School of Law Diane Frankle, Kaye Scholer Michael J. Halloran, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman Lawrence A. Hamermesh, Widener Law Adair Morse, UC Berkeley, Haas School of Business Mark D. Perlow, K&L Gates Paul Rose, Ohio State University, Moritz College of Law Larry Sonsini, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati Eric Talley, UC Berkeley, School of Law Steven Tonsfeldt, O’Melveny & Myers
