Does Marty Lipton Even Read the Stuff He Writes,
or Others Write for Him?

Perhaps when someone accumulates the seniority, wealth, and notoriety that Marty Lipton has, you can say anything that pops into your head or serves your purpose, however unfounded or slanted. Maybe some unfortunate associate writes his stuff for him based on what they think he thinks. He has a reputation this way.

Either way, Lipton must know and like his most recent screed, since he gave it as a speech last week to the World Economic Forum, the same plutocrats who gather in Davos each winter to talk circles around each other, ski, and drink. No mere attorney advertising-disguised-as-a-client memo, it hasn't made it (yet) to the Harvard Law School corp gov forum, which regrettably publishes his random and half-baked musings for him. The Wachtell, Lipton website, popular mostly with company executives, does have it, so activist investors may not have seen it.

We review this latest effort in a current blog post.
