Activewear Activism: Decoding the Gildan Proxy Battle

Olshan Co-Managing Partner and Chair of the firm’s Shareholder Activism Practice Andrew Freedman will speak at an event co-hosted by Olshan and Goodmans LLP entitled “Activewear Activism: Decoding the Gildan Proxy Battle” on September 25 from 8:00 – 10:00 A.M. at Goodmans’ office in Toronto, Ontario. The event will feature discussions with the team behind the Gildan Proxy battle, which made headlines throughout North America this year. This landmark campaign, led by Browning West, is the most successful proxy contest in Canadian history and was driven by Browning West’s decisive leadership after Gildan's controversial CEO change. Bloomberg News’ Christine Dobby will moderate the session, in which Andy will be joined in discussion by: Jon Feldman, Partner and Head of Shareholder Activism Practice at Goodmans LLP; Peter Lee, Co-Founder and Partner at Browning West LP; Usman Nabi, Co-Founder and CIO at Browning West LP; and Julie Rosenthal, Partner at Goodmans LLP.
