About

Provided by WilmerHale

Market leaders in life sciences, technology, financial services/FinTech, industrials, and many other sectors turn to WilmerHale for legal advice and business advantage in “bet the company” M&A transactions. In 2021, we advised clients on more than 90 M&A transactions with an aggregate value of approximately $100 billion, drawing on the firm’s preeminence in adjacent practice areas including intellectual property and licensing, corporate governance, securities, antitrust and tax. Since 2011, we have participated in more than 850 mergers and acquisitions with a total value of more than $450 billion, ranging from transactions involving VC- and PE-backed portfolio companies to acquisitions and sales of multibillion dollar global public companies. We also routinely advise clients on hostile transactions and activist investors, represent investment banks serving as financial advisors in M&A transactions, and represent participants in SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) business combinations.
