IFLR M&A Deal of the Year
Troutman Sanders was one of several firms recognized by IFLR for its involvement in the M&A Deal of the Year at the IFLR award banquet in New York City at the Pierre hotel on March 26. The firm and others acted as counsel for China’s largest meat processor, Shuanghui International Holdings Limited. Shuanghui acquired Smithfield Foods earlier this year 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.
IFLR was founded in 1982 and bills itself as “the market-leading financial law publication for lawyers specialising in international finance in financial institutions, corporates and in private practice.”
