Deal Lawyers Download Podcast: Universal Proxy Bylaw Amendments

Our latest Deal Lawyers Download podcast features my interview with Hunton Andrews Kurth’s Steve Haas on bylaw amendments that companies should consider in response to the universal proxy rules. Topics addressed in this 12-minute podcast include:

– Why should companies think about amending their bylaws in response to universal proxy?

– What specific bylaw changes should be made to ensure that the bylaws aren’t inconsistent with the universal proxy rules?

– What changes to nomination procedures and advance notice bylaws should be considered?

– Are there Delaware law changes that companies may want to consider addressing through bylaw amendments?

If you have something you’d like to talk about, please feel free to reach out to me via email at john@thecorporatecounsel.net. I’m wide open when it comes to topics – an interesting new judicial decision, other legal or market developments, best practices, war stories, tips on handling deal issues, interesting side gigs, or anything else you think might be of interest to the members of our community are all fair game.
