Industrials & Manufacturing

A Leader in the Representation of Industrial and Manufacturing Companies


Debevoise has broad experience in the manufacturing and industrials sectors, regularly handling complex transactional and litigation-related matters alike.

The firm’s practice in these sectors includes M&A, sensitive corporate investigations and high-stakes litigation. Examples include the firm’s work for International Paper in major acquisitions, including its $6.1 billion divestiture of timberlands (which earned the lead lawyer “Dealmaker of the Year” recognition from The American Lawyer); work on FCPA investigations for a number of high-profile companies; and private equity-led acquisitions of Brand Energy, Harsco Infrastructure and John Deere Landscapes.

Whether major corporate transactions, bet-the-company litigations or matters in between, Debevoise offers an array of cross-disciplinary services to industrial and manufacturing clients, covering the full spectrum of corporate, transactional, litigation and regulatory representations.
