As a corporate lawyer involved in a number of the major takeover battles of the 1980s, Martin Lipton has influenced the jurisprudence of the law regulating mergers and acquisitions. In 1982, he created the ‘poison pill’, a takeover defence mechanism that provided many target firms with the means to withstand some of the more rapacious corporate raiders of that era. Subsequently, Mr Lipton has continued his advocacy of a wider role for the corporation in American society.
