Troutman Sanders Wins Global Legal Award
Troutman Sanders was mentioned in a July 10 article about American Lawyer unveiling 36 winners of its second annual Global Legal Awards.
The awards are designed to honor firms or in-house legal departments that played “a substantial role in the most distinguished cross-border work preformed between Jan. 1, 2013, and April 14, 2014, across a wide range of disciplines.” The firm was chosen for its work with Shuanghui/Smithfield Foods in the “Global M&A Deal of the Year: China Outbound” category. Shuanghui acquired Smithfield Foods in a deal worth $7.1 billion. The transaction was billed as the largest-ever Chinese takeover of an American company.
Richmond partners Mason Bayler, Dave Meyers and Coby Beck served as the Virginia legal counsel on the acquisition for Shuanghui.
