M&A: large deals ($1bn+)

Recognized for its prowess in the public and private M&A space, Latham & Watkins LLP routinely advises principal entities and financial advisors on a wide array of high-value M&A transactions, often operating across the energy, tech, healthcare, sports, and media industries. Mark Bekheit, Silicon Valley partner, leverages his former in-house experience at a Fortune 500 company to advise on tech M&A. In the Bay Area, Tad Freese assists companies in complex corporate deals, while Orange County-based Charles Ruck covers general corporate and securities matters in the life sciences sectors, and Ian Nussbaum handles mergers and acquisitions from the firm’s New York office. Alex Kelly and Paul Kukish co-head the practice from New York. In a significant move, Zachary Podolsky joined the team in New York from Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz in June 2025. Justin Hamill departed the team in May 2025.
