Law360 honored Ropes & Gray’s private equity practice with a 2023 “Private Equity Practice Group of the Year” award, which recognizes attorney teams behind major deals that resonated throughout the legal industry in the past year.

The firm’s private equity practice was recognized for representing TPG Capital in its sale of its majority stake in Creative Artists Agency, Signify Health in its $8 billion sale to CVS Health and BPEA EQT in its $6.5 billion merger of its Hong Kong-based business services firms Vistra and Tricor.

Private equity attorneys David Blittner, Neill Jakobe and Will Shields shared their perspectives on the group’s achievements.

“When clients come to us, we’re not remaking the wheel,” David said. “We know the market, we know exactly how private equity works, and we have a huge asset management practice that helps us as well.”
