lucha por la delegación del voto
Explanation:
En inglés-fin, porxy es poder, delegación, representación, apoderamiento. En este caso concreto creo que se refiere a la "delegación de voto" (de los derechos de voto de los accionistas). A la hora de decicir si se vende o fusiona la empresa, los accionistas pueden delegar sus votos en otros accionistas para controlar la decisón final. De ahí que se luche por conseguir la delegación de voto.

Alegato por poder


Explanation:
To be married "by proxy" means "casarse por poder." By using the word "proxy" I assume the context in which your sentence appears is legal. In a legal context I would use the word "Alegato" to reflect a "fight" which--in the legal arena--it is most likely a verbal fight. In short, this sentence would indicate that the parties in a legal battle are being represented by proxy as they are not in the same geographical area.

lucha / pelea / brega a distancia / por empresas interpuestas


Explanation:
Hola Erica,

en este contexto de negocios, se trata de que grandes empresas luchan entre ellas por medio de otras empresas menores con las que están de algún modo asociadas, como por ejemplo filiales...
aquí en tu contexto preciso,no se habla de temas legales, o de poderes para votar sino del significado figurado de : por delegación, indirectamente, con empresas de por medio....

espero que esto te ayude
