Our Work

"I worked closely with Waheed as the General Counsel of USG Corporation, where we were approached with an unsolicited takeover offer and subsequent vote-no campaign against our directors. Waheed provided expert guidance in our engagement with ISS and Glass Lewis, including written communications and board/management meeting preparation.

Waheed also provided valuable input on all of our shareholder communication materials. He quickly earned the trust and respect of our management and board of directors.

I highly recommend Waheed for any engagement where you need clear and focused input on communications with shareholders and proxy advisory firms."

General Counsel, USG Corp.
