(Leading lawyers)Andre Bouchard – Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP
Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP has a strong bench of M&A litigators in New York, and the firm continues to impress with its ‘professionalism, responsiveness and deep knowledge of the issues that set them apart, and their service is exceptional‘. Andrew Gordon and Jaren Janghorbani are co-chairs of the practice, which features many standout litigators, among them Geoff Chepiga, who recently favorably resolved a breach of fiduciary duty class action in the Court of Chancery for the special committee of Pattern Energy concerning the company’s $6.1bn merger agreement with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, and accomplished trial lawyer Lewis Clayton, who played a key role in the precedent-setting, multibillion-dollar dispute concerning Fresenius Kabi AG’s $4.3bn merger with Akorn Pharmaceuticals Inc. Clients describe the ‘brilliant, indefatigable‘ Clayton as ‘one of the best trial lawyers in the US‘. Former Chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery Andre Bouchard, whose ‘knowledge of Delaware law in the corporate, LLC and transactional areas is unmatched‘, is the key contact in the Wilmington office.
