Beyond the Boardroom

We are back with Command Financial's Corporate Compliance Roundtable. Every year since 2015, we have gathered industry experts at The Yale Club in New York but, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are bringing it to you in the comfort of your own home.

Kieran Poole is joined by a panel of inside counsel featuring Judy Tomkins, Jeff Neuman, Richard Gluckselig, and Raj Dave.

Judy is senior associate general counsel at Compass. Jeff is senior vice president, general counsel, and corporate secretary at Tronox. Richard is assistant general counsel and assistant corporate secretary at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. Raj is vice president, chief securities counsel, and assistant corporate secretary at Newell Brands.

This is the first of two episodes. The second will be out soon with different subjects debated by a panel of outside counsel. 

Kieran Poole, Jason Booth, and Rebecca Sherratt discuss the November issues of Activist Insight Monthly and Proxy Monthly. 

Activist Insight Monthly explores the use of SPACs by activists to make acquisitions, as well as them becoming targets for activists - both long and short. Plus, we profile Kimmeridge Energy, explore Blackwell Capital's campaign at Monmouth Real Estate Investment, Viceroy Research shorting German real estate Adler Group, and why, with activist interest in the insurance sector picking up, conglomerate Alleghany appears increasingly vulnerable to activism. 

Proxy Monthly sees investors debate whether Scope 3 emissions reporting should form part of mandatory climate-related disclosure, and we hear from Invesco about the growing pressure on boards to feature sufficient diversity.
