Corporate Partner A.J. Kess was quoted in a Wall Street Journal article discussing the move by an increasing number of companies to adopt a form of proxy access that would permit investors and shareholders to nominate and potentially vote to install board members, even those not supported by the company. The burst of support for proxy access by major companies could lead to a domino effect and A.J. projected that “by the end of this year’s proxy season, 70 companies will have adopted a form of proxy access or supported a proxy-access proposal vote.”
