S&C received “Standout,” “Highly Commended” and “Commended” designations in the Financial Times’ Innovative Lawyers North America Report. The Firm was recognized as:
- Standout in Restructuring: For the Firm’s novel approach that allowed FTX to emerge from Chapter 11 under a $14+ billion plan, through which former customers and holders of FTX’s digital assets will recover in excess of the value of their claims as of the bankruptcy filing. The S&C team was led by Andy Dietderich and Jim Bromley.
- Highly Commended in Dealmaking: For advising Discover in its $50.6 billion merger with Capital One, the largest bank combination approved by federal banking regulators since the Global Financial Crisis. The S&C team was led by Rodge Cohen, Mitch Eitel and Jared Fishman.
- Commended in Infrastructure: For the Firm’s victory in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit striking down the FCC’s “net neutrality” rules, ending decades of regulatory whiplash for the industry. The S&C team was led by Jeff Wall and Morgan Ratner.
