Alston & Bird is pleased to announce that the LATAM Airlines Chapter 11 case has been recognized by the International Financial Law Review (IFLR) as “Deal of the Year” in the Restructuring category at its Americas Awards 2023. In the matter, Alston & Bird represented Qatar Airways in its capacity as DIP lender, plan sponsor, and equity security holder.

Alston & Bird represented Pathstone, a New Jersey-based wealth management advisor, in its acquisition of Brainard Capital Management, an independent advisory boutique located in Austin, Texas, as well as in its new strategic private equity investment from Kelso & Company and its additional private equity investment from Lovell Minnick Partners (LMP).

Global Arbitration Review has recognized Alston & Bird as one of the world’s 100 leading law firms for international arbitration.

Alston & Bird is once again honored by Fortune magazine’s annual survey of America’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.” We are the only law firm that has earned this national recognition for 24 consecutive years and are delighted to have placed in the top 50 companies for 2023.

Alston & Bird achieved a sweep of complete victories for client Amperex Technology in four inter partes review proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). The PTAB’s Final Written Decisions determined that all challenged claims of four patents owned by Maxell Ltd. related to battery technologies were unpatentable and invalidated all challenged claims. Maxell had previously sued Amperex for patent infringement in the Western District of Texas and had an upcoming trial set for May 2023 in Waco, Texas.
