Public Company Conversations | Episode 1

Hogan Lovells
About this episode

Public Company Conversations is the Hogan Lovells Securities and Public Company Advisory podcast, where we explore the legal developments shaping today’s public company landscape. Each episode covers topics ranging from SEC rulemaking and enforcement to governance practices, shareholder engagement, emerging market trends, and risk management - set against a dynamic regulatory backdrop.

In this inaugural episode, partner and host Rupa Briggs is joined by counsels Weston Gaines and Val Delp, co-chairs of the Hogan Lovells Shareholder Proposal Task Force. They preview the key shareholder proposal themes emerging from the 2025 proxy season and share practical insights for companies navigating the year ahead.

This episode also sets the stage for a full-length webinar with D.F. King on 29 October, where the team will dive deeper into:

  1. the 2025 proxy season,
  2. the impact of the SEC’s Schedule 13D rule changes on shareholder engagement,
  3. how the change in administration is shaping disclosure and risk management strategies, and
  4. key developments in shareholder activism.
