Activists at the Gate: Predicting the Next Wave of Campaign Tactics | Live CLE Legal Webinar

Broadcast Date: Wednesday, December 2, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM (ET)

Shareholder activism is entering a new phase as institutional investors, activist funds, and other shareholders explore increasingly targeted ways to challenge corporate decisions and influence boardroom priorities. From building investor coalitions to pursuing board representation and questioning strategic transactions, these campaigns can create significant legal, operational, and reputational challenges for companies. Understanding how activist strategies are changing is essential for legal advisors and corporate decision-makers seeking to anticipate disputes and protect shareholder value. In this CLE Securities Law webinar organized by The Knowledge Group, experienced professionals will discuss emerging campaign methods, shifting investor priorities, potential legal exposure, and the considerations that shape corporate responses. Attendees will explore how to assess activist signals, evaluate competing stakeholder interests, prepare for high-pressure shareholder challenges, and coordinate legal and governance strategies in an increasingly complex environment.

What You Will Learn in this Webinar:

  • New approaches activists are using to gain influence over corporate strategy and board decisions
  • Early warning signs of a potential campaign and methods for evaluating activist objectives
  • Legal risks involving proxy solicitations, shareholder proposals, disclosure, and fiduciary responsibilities
  • Considerations for responding to demands concerning leadership, capital allocation, and corporate transactions
  • Approaches to investor communication, board preparedness, and campaign response planning
  • Emerging developments that may influence the direction of future activism campaigns
