Social Media and Shareholder Activism

Steve Wolosky, Andrew Freedman and Ron Berenblat of Olshan’s Activist & Equity Investment Practice, the leading law firm to activists in the U.S., penned an article featured in Ethical Boardroom on social media and shareholder activism. The article discusses how activists are becoming “more creative and sophisticated” in deploying their investment strategies by utilizing social media to communicate with shareholders.  The authors expect to see activists around the world expand their use of social media as the global shareholder activism phenomenon continues to grow.
