Bayer AG's legal team, nominated by Sullivan & Cromwell, had an extraordinary year of accomplishments related to the company's $64 billion purchase of Monsanto—the largest acquisition ever of an American company by a foreign buyer, the largest completed all-cash takeover in history and the largest M&A transaction by a German company.
As described in detail in the Sullivan & Cromwell nomination submission, the legal team had to tackle issues in the areas of antitrust, M&A, intellectual property, environmental law and tax.
