The list of potential proxy “issues” seems to grow longer and longer every year. And each year the impact of these ”issues” seems to extend to an ever-growing number of companies.

Given all these changes, we would ask the question: are you receiving all the help you should from your proxy solicitor?

Is your solicitor:

• proactively providing you with information and advice regarding the latest corporate governance issues? Or do you have to contact them with questions you might have and then hope they can be of assistance?


• promptly responding to your inquiries and providing both the information you need and an explanation as to why certain developments have taken place? Or do you have to make repeated calls to try to reach your solicitor and more often than not wind up speaking with a lower level staff member?


• providing a cost-effective way means of providing both solicitation and corporate governance advisory services? Or are their fees going up while the services they provide are being reduced, leading to continuous “additional service fees” for services that are now pivotal in the new proxy environment?

At Laurel Hill Advisory Group, we are committed to the notion that it’s time for a change in the way in which proxy solicitors interact with their clients. For us, the proxy solicitor should fill the role of a year-round consultant, fulfilling all the traditional functions during the solicitation period, but, equally important, providing specific information and consultative advice in the period prior to the solicitation. Moreover, we are committed to offering this level of service to all our clients (not simply our largest ones) and offering this service in a truly cost-effective manner.

Laurel Hill Advisory Group also offers a complete range of services from Proxy Contest Advisory Services to Information Agent Services to Shareholder Asset Recovery Programs™. Our goal is to make every client feel like our most important client
