We are happy to share that Kingsdale is ranked the #1 Proxy Solicitor in Canada and #8 globally for company-side engagements in the Bloomberg Global Activism League Tables for FY 2025. This ranking is about more than just activist defence. It is built on something foundational: mastery of the routine AGM.
In our industry, many underestimate the power of consistent, excellent shareholder engagement between crises. At Kingsdale, we see it differently.
A shareholder meeting is never just a formality. It is a critical window to reinforce governance credibility and solidify investor trust. The difference between adequate and exceptional lies in strategy, precision, and unwavering attention to detail.
When activism arrives, the companies that prevail are those who have already built deep shareholder relationships through years of exceptional routine work. That foundation is everything.
Our 2025 Results:
- 100% success rate across all mandates
- From standard AGMs to the most complex activist defences
- Consistent delivery of overwhelming shareholder support
As global scrutiny intensifies, the companies pulling ahead understand that excellence in routine work compounds over time. It strengthens relationships, builds resilience, and creates a foundation that withstands pressure.
Thank you to our team and the clients who hold this standard with us. Together, we are redefining what shareholder engagement means.
