Legal 500 Recognizes Potter Anderson for M&A Litigation Defense and “Standout Attorneys”
The 2017 edition of Legal 500 United States recognized Potter Anderson among the top U.S. firms for M&A litigation defense. It noted the firm’s role as counsel in a case in the Delaware Supreme Court where the “decision set the legal standard for determining whether corporate directors breached fiduciary duty in evaluating and approving a merger.” The publication referred to partners Don Wolfe, Pete Walsh, Myron Steele, Mike Pittenger and Kevin Shannon as “standout attorneys.” A commenter also remarked that Shannon is “a first port of call” for national firms needing Delaware counsel.
