Our attorneys also represent directors and managers of Fortune 100 and other publicly traded entities in informal and formal proceedings before the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in Wells submissions, hearings and resolutions. We represent directors and managers of regulated businesses such as healthcare, banking, merchant banking, insurance and franchise, in challenges to business decisions made by directors and management in transactions, mergers and acquisitions. Recently, Elliott Greenleaf lawyers obtained a landmark corporate law decision enforcing the voting rights of controlling parties in regulated businesses to vote their shares without impediment in a contested proxy election.

This proactive approach allows our clients to define the venue and the substantive and business issues, thus prioritizing the concerns of the business leaders for the best interest of the business.
