– What are the benefits of having a non-lawyer involved in drafting the CD&A?
– What are arguments that can “win the day” at companies who have senior management not interested in drafting user-friendly CD&As?
– How does creating more usable disclosure impact the timeframe for drafting proxy disclosure?
– Do you see companies planning in advance for the pay ratio rules? And if so, in what ways?
