Davis Polk partner and Northern California office co-head Alan Denenberg has been named among Daily Journal’s 2024 “Top 100 Lawyers in California.” The annual list honors the leading lawyers throughout California across a variety of sectors, including private practice, academia and public service.

The publication highlighted Alan’s work advising on more than 60 IPOs since 2015, including Reddit’s $748 million IPO, Acelyrin’s $621 million IPO and Tempus AI’s $410 million IPO in the past year, as well as his representation of AssetMark on its $2.7 billion acquisition by private equity firm GTCR and its strategic alliance with Morningstar.  

“In Tempus, like many IPOs today that have been long delayed in coming to market, there were a large number of RSUs for which tax payments became due as they vested and we had to come up with a plan for that vesting and the related shares that needed to be sold to raise funds to pay the taxes,” Alan explained. “On AssetMark, we spent a lot of time and effort in educating a PRC majority owner on the nuances of selling a US public company in a competitive sale process.”

The “Top 100 Lawyers in California” were featured in the September 4, 2024, issue of the Daily Journal.
