A Cross-Atlantic Legal Faceoff of Giants
The transaction was backed by heavyweight law firms on both sides. Sanofi leaned on Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP, a seasoned player in mega-deals, while Goodwin Procter LLP represented Blueprint, helping steer the U.S. firm through the complex acquisition process.
While the financial terms were disclosed, both companies remained tight-lipped about integration details and post-merger restructuring plans.

“This acquisition represents a transformative opportunity for Sanofi to expand our innovation engine in immunology and rare diseases,” the company stated, underscoring its long-term strategy to build resilience beyond traditional pharma markets.
The move adds firepower to Sanofi’s vision of becoming a leader in precision therapies, while positioning itself to outmaneuver rivals in a shrinking pool of promising biotech firms.
