Kleinberg Kaplan Ranks Among Leading Law Firms Advising Activist Investors According to Refinitiv 

Kleinberg Kaplan, a pure-play activist law firm, ranks among the most active legal advisors for activist campaigns, according to data intelligence provider Refinitiv. For full year 2020, Kleinberg Kaplan ranked third for legal counsel solely advising activist investors in Refinitiv’s Global Shareholder Activism Scorecard released this week. In addition, the firm ranked fourth globally for activist representations overall and was listed among the top 10 law firms in total representations.

This is the latest recognition of the firm’s position as one of the “go to” law firms in activism campaigns. Christopher P. Davis, chair of Kleinberg Kaplan’s Investor Activism Practice, was ranked as a leading activist lawyer in Chambers USA, which called Davis a “tireless advocate.” Chambers further noted that clients described Davis as “extremely knowledgeable and experienced” and shared that “his strategic sense and skills really stand out.”

Davis frequently appears on television, at conferences and in print as an advocate for shareholder activism. He was recently elected to be an advisory board member of the prestigious Ira M. Millstein Center for Global Markets and Corporate Ownership at Columbia Law School because of his unique activist industry insights.

Bolstered by its reputation in the funds industry, the firm’s clients include many activist hedge funds and other investors. Kleinberg Kaplan develops and helps execute innovative strategies to help investors achieve strategic goals, from the initial analysis of available options through the successful conclusion of activist campaigns. The firm has been involved in numerous successful proxy contests during the last three decades for its many activist clients.
