Corporate Control

Allen Nelson has been advising public companies on proxy fights and corporate takeovers since 1971.  We have acted as strategic advisors and proxy solicitors in dozens of battles for corporate control in the United States and Canada.

We work collaboratively with our clients, their legal counsel and other professional advisors to develop a persuasive shareholder communication strategy that will win the day.

Then we execute the strategy by drafting press releases, letters to shareholders, advertisements, and proxy solicitation materials designed to persuade investors to support our clients.  We frequently act as our client’s spokesman to the financial and business press. 

Our staff of experienced telephone solicitors contacts individual shareholders and institutional investors around the world to tell our client’s story and ask for their vote of support.

As proxy solicitor, we contact investors, brokerage firms, banks, custodians to gather their votes.  We oversee the voting, tabulation and validation of proxies at the shareholder meeting.

Throughout the corporate control battle we monitor shareholder reaction and opposition tactics closely in order to devise appropriate responses to secure our client’s victory.

The Internet has become an incredibly effective tool in waging and winning battles for corporate control.  Allen Nelson & Co. launched the first proxy contest in cyberspace in December 1995.  We are  continuously honing our Internet expertise as we wage new corporate battles and are devising innovative tactics to enhance corporate governance.
