Global Managing Partner and Global Head of M&A George Casey co-authored a white paper with Melanie Nolen, director of research for Chief Executive Group, and Jamie Tassa, publisher for Corporate Board Member, titled "Effects of Covid-19 on Shareholder Activism and M&A: Views from Corporate Boards and the Market." The white paper, just published by Corporate Board Member, is based on a survey of directors of a wide range of public companies across a number of industries and discusses the impact of the Covid environment on shareholder activism and the M&A market. It also explores the current view from Boardrooms on public companies' priorities and concerns in the volatile and uncertain business and economic environment.
