Two years after AT&T's failed bid to acquire T-Mobile USA from German parent Deutsche Telekom, the telecommunications giant has once again turned to a team of lawyers from Sullivan & Cromwell, Arnold & Porter, and Crowell & Moring to advise on its proposed $1.19 billion cash buy of Leap Wireless, which is being advised by Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz.
