Skadden achieved the No. 1 ranking for defending companies in the largest activist campaigns of the first half of 2025, according to a Bloomberg Law article.
“Companies hiring Skadden have encountered campaigns with activist stakes worth $10.2 billion so far in 2025. That’s more than three times the $3.2 billion in total activist stakes in campaigns faced by clients” of the next leading firm, Bloomberg Law said, also noting Skadden’s involvement in the biggest new engagement for a law firm defending a company so far this year.
Skadden’s recognition as a leader in shareholder activism is built on decades of experience and an in-depth understanding of activists and their strategies.
One driver of our success is our shareholder engagement and activism practice, led by Elizabeth Gonzalez-Sussman, whose extensive experience counseling on the full range of shareholder engagement and activism matters includes advising clients on the other side of the table at her previous firm, as Bloomberg Law noted.
