Kleinberg Kaplan was recently featured as a top legal advisor for activist campaigns in Bloomberg’s H1 2020 Global Activism Market Review. The firm ranked third for legal counsel advising activist investors both globally and in the United States.

“The Investor Activism Practice that Chris Davis leads has been repeatedly recognized and ranked for years as one of the premier legal advisors to activist investors. We have advised both established and emerging activists on impressive campaigns. Chris Davis’ leadership of the group, his knowledge of the field, and the trust that our clients put in him and his team helps Kleinberg Kaplan stand out as one of the few ‘go to’ law firms for creative activists. The whole firm congratulates Chris on the honor of being recognized in Chambers,” said Andrew Chonoles, Kleinberg Kaplan Managing Partner.

Bolstered by its reputation in the funds industry, the firm’s clients include many activist hedge funds and other investors.

The firm has been involved in numerous successful proxy contests during the last three decades for its many activist clients. Davis frequently appears on television, at conferences and in print as an advocate for shareholder activism.

Chambers bases its rankings on extensive market research into the strengths and reputations of U.S. attorneys and law firms and is widely considered to be one of the most reputable law firm directories in the world. Interviews are conducted with clients and attorneys across the nation to enable Chambers to assess technical legal ability, client service, commercial astuteness, diligence, commitment and other qualities most valued by legal clients.
