- ‘S&C recently strengthened its defense practice by bringing in Lawrence Elbaum and Patrick Gadson to complement an already strong M&A team. These additions have positioned the firm among the top choices for companies seeking activism defense counsel.’
- ‘Lawrence Elbaum is highly strategic and creative, particularly in high-intensity situations. He consistently exceeds client expectations. Patrick Gadson brings valuable investor-side perspective from his prior experience representing activists and applies that insight effectively in defense mandates. Together, they form a compelling combination and are often my first recommendation for defense counsel.’
