Gibson Dunn‘s global litigation co-chair Bill Savitt has closed a high-profile mandate for Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, with the role coming months after Savitt joined from Wachtell in July.
Savitt advised Zuckerberg alongside Gibson Dunn M&A co-head Sebastian Fain, and his former Wachtell litigation colleagues Ryan McLeod and Anitha Reddy, with the team advising on negotiations with the special committee of Meta and the creation of a new class of publicly listed stock. Orange County IP partner Colin Davies also advised on litigation aspects of the mandate, which comes amid the proposed introduction of a state tax on billionaires in California.
