Litigator of the Week Runners-Up and Shout-Outs

Stefan Atkinson, Ariel Deitchman, Paula Zampietro, Sabrina Schulman and Max Abramson received a shout-out for The American Lawyer Litigation Daily's "Litigator of the Week" for their work for Chico's.

"... Shout-out to Stefan Atkinson, Ariel Deitchman, Paula Zampietro, Sabrina Schulman and Max Abramson of Kirkland & Ellis. Last week, they secured a ruling from a Florida judge that knocked out a shareholder suit against fashion retailer Chico’s FAS and its former CEO and president seeking books and records related to the company’s take-private acquisition by private equity fund Sycamore Partners. Lee County Circuit Judge Kyle Cohen found the plaintiff lacked standing under Florida law, which requires a showing of direct harm and special injury to bring direct claims. Deitchman argued the motion to dismiss for the Chico’s defendants."
