Stock Exchange: This is how top lawyer Kai Liekefett defends US corporations against activist investors
Activist investors are often seen as a threat to companies. But sometimes they can be a necessary catalyst, says Kai Liekefett. The lawyer defends corporations in the US.
US hedge fund Elliott, which has taken a stake in Deutsche Telekom, aims to prevent the company from merging with its US subsidiary T-Mobile. Instead, Elliott is advocating for increased share buybacks or other measures to boost the company's stock value. Kai Liefekett, a prominent corporate defense attorney in the US, has experience handling such demands from activist investors.
His clients include AT&T, Hasbro, Blackrock, and the New York Times. Liefekett shares his insights on defending against activist investors in an interview with the Handelsblatt.
