Dewey & LeBoeuf, Foley & Lardner, and Sullivan & Cromwell are advising various parties on an investor group’s $2.15 billion acquisition of Major League Baseball’s Los Angeles Dodgers, the highest price ever paid for a professional sports team.
Lawyers from nearly a dozen other Am Law 200 firms took part in the bidding process and bankruptcy proceedings for the Dodgers, who sought Chapter 11 protection in Delaware last June amid a two-year divorce battle between team owner Frank McCourt and his ex-wife Jamie McCourt.
