What Powerscourt does

Sodali & Co is a global stakeholder capital advisory firm providing proxy solicitation, shareholder engagement, M&A advisory, investor relations, corporate governance consulting, and ESG/climate reporting services to publicly traded corporate issuers. The firm operates as a professional services practice rather than a technology vendor, generating revenue through bespoke, quote-based advisory engagements delivered directly to enterprise clients; there is no public pricing model or software product. It maintains direct offices in New York, London, and Sydney, with a recently established presence in Beijing (entered May 2026) and an Italy regional headquarters led by a dedicated senior hire (June 2026).

The firm differentiates on category leadership, holding multiple #1 rankings from Bloomberg (Global Activism Solicitor FY 2025, Global company-side Proxy Solicitor FY 2024), Diligent (Proxy Advisory Firm 2025), Mergermarket (Global M&A Advisor 2021–2023), Prospect News (APAC & Sovereign Liability Management), and The Deal (U.S. M&A Advisor 2022–Q1 2024). Its proprietary asset is the Sodali 40 quarterly Activist Ownership Analysis, providing recurring intelligence on activist capital deployment and engagement risk. The firm sells primarily through direct client engagement and content-led marketing, with named senior practitioners recognized in PRWeek Power Book and Spear's Reputation Index 2026.

Recent strategic posture is offensive: geographic expansion into Beijing, regional HQ formalization in Italy, a strategic partnership with Luminous in Brand & Design (April 2026), and continued investment in ESG, climate reporting, and Japan governance advisory. The company is privately held with no disclosed ownership, funding, or revenue figures.
