Hazel W. Wang

My Approach

My practice focuses on corporate governance, public company securities law, and mergers and acquisitions. I advise public companies on a broad range of SEC disclosure and securities matters, including drafting and filing proxy statements, annual meeting and special meeting materials, and periodic reports such as Forms 8-K, 10-Q, and 10-K. I have particular experience supporting the full lifecycle of special stockholder meetings in complex and contested situations, including matters involving shareholder activism, cooperation agreements, reincorporation, and proxy access. On the governance side, I counsel boards and committees on governance best practices, director independence, and the development and implementation of corporate governance policies and disclosures, and advise on compliance with the Delaware General Corporation Law and Nasdaq listing standards.

I also maintain an active transactional practice, advising clients on domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions, and general corporate matters. My experience includes leading due diligence, preparing disclosure schedules, and negotiating and drafting purchase agreements and ancillary transaction documents. I also counsel clients on entity formation, organizational structure, and corporate governance and maintenance matters across multiple jurisdictions, with particular experience involving Delaware and Minnesota entities.

Before becoming an attorney, I worked in public relations, which shaped how I practice law. Clear communication and truly understanding a client’s needs are as important as legal expertise, and I bring that approach to every matter.

Outside of work, I am an avid sports fan and enjoy watching Timberwolves games with my husband and hiking with my dog, Lulu, who doesn’t mind the Minnesota winters one bit.
