Alston & Bird has been named one of the country’s top workplaces for consulting and professional services by Great Place to Work – the seventh time in a row the firm has earned this distinction.

Sixteen Alston & Bird Antitrust Team attorneys have been appointed to leadership posts in the American Bar Association Antitrust Law Section, the country’s largest and most prominent antitrust and consumer protection bar organization.

Alston & Bird won a significant Eleventh Circuit appeal affirming the dismissal of a securities class action against MiMedx Group, Inc. The case involved allegations that resulted in the criminal convictions of MiMedx’s CEO and COO for securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud, respectively. Nevertheless, the Alston & Bird team obtained a complete dismissal of the civil securities fraud class action lawsuit brought against MiMedx by its shareholders. In a 3-0, published decision, the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the district court’s decision that the plaintiff failed to plead the loss causation element of its claim, and the Eleventh Circuit further affirmed the district court’s denial of the plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend.

Corporate Control Alert, the legal and financial dealmaking journal published by The Deal, has ranked Alston & Bird sixth among counsel to financial advisors on U.S. M&A transactions with a value of $100 million or more announced between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2022.

The U.S. Bank Law Division has named Alston & Bird the recipient of the 2022 “Invested in Diversity” Award. Now in its fourth year, the award recognizes one of the Law Division’s close outside counsel partners for advancing diversity in the legal profession.
