Displaying in-depth industry expertise in manufacturing, mining, and transportation, the Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP outfit is praised as ‘the best’ at handling ’complex work’ in connection with high-value M&A and complex corporate governance issues. The firm’s extensive roster of corporate client spans from global tech and media companies to renowned financial institutions. The New York-based team is headed up by Scott Barshay, an expert in advising boards on corporate governance, activist defense, and securities law matters. Jeffrey Marell specialises in assisting corporations with negotiated and contested acquisitions and divestitures, Robert Kindler has extensive experience in takeover defense and proxy contests, and Andrew Krause focuses on joint ventures and carve-outs. Robert Schumer regularly oversees leveraged buyouts, Steven Williams is noted for his ability to advise on mergers-of-equals, and both Laura Turano and Krishna Veeraraghavan handle a broad range of domestic and cross-border transactions. Private equity expert Taurie Zeitzer left the firm in January 2024, while James Langston’s arrival from Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton in May 2024 signals added insight into complex hostile takeovers.
