“Their advice, insights, and execution…have been invaluable to our progress and vote results.”

“As a company that recently went public, our board looked to Laurel Hill to advise us on various governance matters. The team at Laurel Hill has been of tremendous assistance in identifying opportunities to better align our governance policies and practices with the market and in planning and executing a very successful round of board-shareholder engagement. Their advice, insights, and execution over the last year and through our recent AGM have been invaluable to our progress and vote results. Thank you Laurel Hill!”
