The legal prowess was evident with teams from Proskauer and Sidley providing critical support. The Proskauer team, led by Christopher Robinson, alongside specialists in mergers, acquisitions, and tax law, played a pivotal role. Similarly, the Sidley team, under the guidance of Nicholas Cassin, showcased its expertise across investment funds, mergers, acquisitions, capital markets, and ERISA law.
