REITs Must Be Proactive as Shareholder Activism on the Rise, Capital Markets Lawyer Says

Keith Townsend, partner at King & Spaulding, participated in a video interview at Nareit’s REITwise: 2018 Law, Accounting & Finance Conference in Hollywood, Florida.

Townsend has seen a significant rise in shareholder activism in the REIT sector in recent years. “REITs are no longer impervious and they are going to have to be ready with their advisors for these campaigns to occur,” Townsend said.
