Current legislation creates several cost obstacles for parties seeking to purchase residential property together. One group of buyers that may be very much affected are married couples and families seeking to jointly purchase property. The reality is that for as long as such rules are in place, the practical approach by couples and families may prevail, in that, they may try to see how they can navigate the rules and hold their real estate with whatever tax savings; and to be less sentimental about what a matrimonial home and family home represents.

Public companies and their in-house counsel face new challenges as activist shareholders are demanding a greater voice in the boardroom. At the same time, engaged shareholders and their counsel tread the mine field of regulation as they seek to influence the governance agenda in the companies they own and to hold boards and management accountable for underperformance. Recently, some of the most high profile proxy contests have involved U.S. hedge funds targeting Canadian public companies. In this panel, hedge fund in-house counsel will face off against public company in-house counsel, fresh from their recent battles, to share their experiences and insights gained. Outside counsel with experience on both sides of the fight will discuss how in-house counsel can successfully steer their boards and management through the process.
