Much like the last couple of weeks, the big “megadeals” that helped push a record second half of 2020 were absent in the roll call of deals this week. Also much like the last couple of weeks, there were plenty of deals in the $700 million to $5 billion range and once again, there were a lot of SPACs. 

The largest deal of the week was the purchase of Perspecta, a government contractor with interests in cybersecurity, cloud and application services, applied research and other tech-related competencies that the U.S. federal government tends to outsource, by Peraton Corp., a portfolio company of Veritas Capital, for $7.1 billion. Schulte Roth & Zabel represented Peraton in the transaction, while Perspecta, which is based in Chantilly, Virginia, was advised by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison.
