Rick S. Horvath advises boards of directors, special committees, significant investors and public and private companies on complex corporate governance matters. His practice focuses on boardroom conflicts, high stakes operational decisions, internal controls and the development and enhancement of governance documents and policies. He also counsels clients on proxy contests and activist campaigns, contested takeovers, corporate disclosures, and stockholder disputes, including bespoke governance arrangements for limited liability companies and limited partnerships. Clients frequently engage him when governance issues are time-sensitive, reputationally sensitive or potentially headed toward litigation.
\n
\nWith a background in litigation Mr. Horvath brings a practical, informed perspective to governance advising. He has represented parties in scores of M&A litigation matters arising from transactions with combined values exceeding US$200 billion, more than a dozen oversight (â€œCaremarkâ€�) matters, contests for corporate control, challenges to stockholder rights plans (poison pills), disputes involving board composition, and appraisal proceedings.
\n
\nMr. Horvath regularly writes and speaks on governance topics. His work has been featured in the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance, The Legal 500 and Law360. He has spoken at programs including the Berkeley Fall Forum on Corporate Governance and the Annual West Coast M&A/Private Equity Forum and he has taught classes at Harvard Law School and UC Berkeley Law. He has also been interviewed by the Financial Times, Delaware Business Court Insider, and Law360 among other publications.

You MUST pull from all sections in the source code - explicit lists of clients, the narrative biography, listed representative matters, or in news articles listed for this attorney, or the titles thereof. In M&A, if the attorney represented the buyer/acquirer, DO NOT list the acquired target as adverse (since it becomes the client); instead list only the selling side (seller, stockholders, founders, or divesting company). If the attorney represented the seller/target, list the buyer/acquirer.

Do NOT include general descriptions, categories, roles, or descriptors that are not proper names (for example: \"Fortune 50 company\", \"medical billing company\", \"global bank\", \"mayoral candidate\", \"pharmacy\", \"trade association\", \"energy company\", or similar phrases).

Do NOT include general descriptions, categories, roles, or descriptors that are not proper names (for example: \"Fortune 50 company\", \"medical billing company\", \"global bank\", \"mayoral candidate\", \"pharmacy\", \"trade association\", \"energy company\", or similar phrases).
