EMTH assists management with corporate defense planning, tactics and deployment. Corporate defense begins with a review of the company’s organic corporate documents to make certain that they are advantageous to the company and its stockholders. EMTH works annually with its public clients in preparing for their annual meeting of stockholders and drafting and refining the company’s annual report.

If the barbarians do appear at the gate, EMTH provides advice to the Board of Directors as to their fiduciary duties and to management as to how best to defend against the attack. EMTH helps companies acquire insurance and indemnity coverage and recommends other professionals who can provide valuation and investment banking services. EMTH advises on such tactics as stock repurchases, issuer tender offers, splits, and on how to defend against an opposing slate of directors in proxy contests.

With years of experience inside and out of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Securities divisions of the federal banking agencies, the EMTH attorneys have lived through the cycles of  corporate raiders, gadflys, contentious board members, angry institutional investors and others who pose a threat to the current status of the  company.  When required EMTH provides round-the-clock defense work in close coordination with other industry experts, such as the proxy soliciting firms and the company’s transfer agent, to help management achieve their vote.
