January 26, 2016

On January 6, 2016, Cravath was named as one of Law360’s “Capital Markets Groups of the Year.” This annual series honors firms based on the significance, complexity and size of the deals in which they were involved over the past year. The profile highlights several of the Firm’s notable successes during 2015, including representing the underwriters for Ferrari’s $982 million IPO and its work on $29 billion of securities offerings to finance Actavis’s acquisition of Allergan, which included the largest acquisition financing securities offerings in history, as well as the second‑largest debt issuance, the largest healthcare equity offering and the largest nonfinancial mandatory convertible preferred shares offering to date. Cravath partners Stephen L. Burns, William J. Whelan III and William V. Fogg are quoted in the profile.
