Nearly two years after a lucky seven Am Law 100 firms reaped hefty fees from Dell’s $24.4 billion leveraged buyout, some of the same firms have landed roles in what’s reportedly the largest pure tech tie-up ever—Dell Inc.’s $67 billion acquisition of EMC Corp.
The deal, announced Monday and expected to close between May and October 2016, will see Round Rock, Texas-based Dell—along with owners Michael Dell, MSD Partners and Silver Lake—pay $33.15 per EMC share in a combination of cash and tracking stock in EMC’s VMware Inc. VMware will remain a publicly traded company.
