Olshan’s Activist Practice Ranked as the #1 Law Firm in Shareholder Activism by Diligent for 10th Consecutive Year

Diligent has ranked Olshan’s Shareholder Activism Practice as the #1 law firm in shareholder activism in its 2024 Advisor Awards, a position Olshan has held since the inception of the awards for ten consecutive years. Diligent cited Olshan as having advised on 109 activist campaigns for 2024, a 13% increase from the previous year. Olshan Co-Managing Partner and Chair of the firm’s Shareholder Activism Practice Andrew Freedman shared his predictions for 2025. Andy expects the markets to warm back up to M&A and that activism will adapt to a changing environment: “M&A will likely become front and center in many activism campaigns. Since the latter months of 2024, our practice has been seeing a big uptick in campaign activity or at least the initial stages of campaign activity. So that tells me that it’s going to be a very busy 2025 proxy season ahead.”
