Davis Polk partner and West Coast M&A practice head Paul Scrivano was profiled by Financier Worldwide as part of the publication’s “Power Players: Shareholder Activism” issue. In the Q&A, Paul reflected on standout moments in his career, cultivating strong relationships with clients, and his predictions for how M&A work and shareholder activism will continue to evolve. 

“We saw a significant uptick in shareholder activism in 2025 and that is likely to accelerate further in 2026, with more shareholder activism having M&A as its ultimate goal,” Paul explained.
