De Brauw is pleased to have advised Pfizer Inc. alongside Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz on the spin-off of Pfizer's Upjohn business and its merger with Mylan, creating a new global pharmaceutical company.

De Brauw lead partner Paul Cronheim reflects: "By successfully advising Pfizer and Wachtell on this landmark transaction, we have once again shown that De Brauw is the go-to Dutch law firm for large and complex international M&A matters. Our extensive experience with these types of cross-border transactions and our integrated teams of specialists combining corporate, M&A, finance and tax capabilities enabled us to add value on key topics such as the transaction structure, deal certainty and tax implications. We are happy to add this transaction to our international track record and look forward to working with Pfizer and Wachtell to complete this transaction."
