Olshan’s Shareholder Activism Practice Ranked #1 by Diligent for 11th Consecutive Year, Sweeping All League Table Rankings

Diligent has ranked Olshan’s Shareholder Activism Practice as the #1 law firm in shareholder activism in its 2025 Advisor Awards, a position Olshan has held since the inception of the awards 11 years ago. Diligent cited Olshan as having advised on 115 activist campaigns for 2025, the highest total among all firms, with an average market capitalization of $11.2B. Olshan Co-Managing Partner and Chair of the firm’s Shareholder Activism Practice Andrew Freedman commented on the evolving landscape of shareholder activism and shared his outlook for the year ahead. “The big theme for 2025 was the impact of maneuvers in Washington D.C. on shareholder activism….ranging from merger reviews like US Steel-Nippon to executive orders and SEC guidance.”

Shareholder Activism Partner Kenneth Mantel highlighted emerging trends and recent campaigns, including the firm’s work advising esteemed client Elliott Management on its campaign at Phillips 66. Olshan's top ranking by Diligent continues a dominant run of recognition from the most influential sources tracking activist rankings and league tables, including London Stock Exchange Group, FactSet’s Flashwire Advisor Quarterly Q4 2025, 13D Monitor’s second annual Qualitative League Tables and Bloomberg’s Activism Advisory League Tables for FY 2025. These rankings reinforce Olshan’s position as the preeminent legal advisor in shareholder activism, sweeping every major league table and publication tracking activist representation.
