Proxy Season 2025: The Impact of Regulatory Pressures on Shareholder Proposals and Engagement

Join FTI Consulting and Morrison Foerster (MoFo) for a recap of the 2025 proxy season, focusing on how regulatory changes and political pressures impacted shareholder proposals and the relationship between companies and their shareholders. This session will cover how “anti-ESG” pressure and changes in SEC guidance impacted shareholder proposals, no-action letters, and the way shareholders engage with boards and management teams. Attendees will gain practical insights into how companies are adapting their proxy disclosures and engagement practices in response to shifting regulatory and investor priorities.

The webinar is designed for in-house counsel, compliance officers, corporate secretaries, in-house investor relations and other professionals involved in SEC reporting, public company governance, or shareholder engagement.

Speakers are known for their practical guidance in the areas of securities regulation, corporate governance, shareholder engagement, and investor voting behavior. Speakers include a former attorney in the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance and leader of the SEC’s Shareholder Proposal task force, a former ISS Custom Research Team member and Managing Director for the M&A, Activism & Governance practice at FTI Consulting, and former top in-house securities counsel at two U.S. public companies and chair of MoFo’s Public Company Advisory & Governance practice.
