    Symbotic has completed its business combination with SVF Investment Corp. 3, a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of SoftBank Investment Advisers. As a result of the combination, Symbotic became a publicly traded company, listed on the Nasdaq.

Longstanding S&C client Rick Cohen is Symbotic’s original investor, CEO and chairman. An affiliate of SoftBank Vision Fund 2 invested $200 million. Strategic and institutional investors including Walmart also invested $205 million in equity.

    The S&C team representing Symbotic included Bob Downes, Matt Goodman, Mimi Wu, John Karol, Alex Bavis, Jessica Ljustina and Cameron Teschuk. Isaac Wheeler, Tessa Lee and Zach Feldman advised on tax matters. Jeannette Bander and Joyce Lee advised on executive compensation and benefits matters.
