Represented Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON)

as legal counsel in the successful completion of the spin-off of its Advanced Materials business, now operating as Solstice Advanced Materials. The year-long project involved more than 50 Benesch attorneys from a range of practice areas, reflecting the firm’s collaborative and business-minded approach to complex corporate transactions.

Closed a 27-property secured financing for SITE Centers.

The financing started as a $1.1 billion facility to be secured by 47 assets. In the end, the deal amount was $530 million and secured by 27 shopping centers since; SITE sold several of the assets that initially were part of the collateral pool.

Represented a pharmaceutical services platform

in two strategic acquisitions with a combined value of $640 million. For both transactions, the firm led healthcare diligence, including review of data privacy, HIPAA, confidentiality, security and sunshine reporting issues, and also worked closely with IP counsel to assess risk levels and approaches for diligence review. The Benesch team also analyzed transaction documents, representations and warranties, and material contracts through a healthcare regulatory lens to identify compliance obligations and required notices.

Represented Purolator, a leading Canadian provider of integrated freight, package and logistics solutions,

as U.S. deal counsel in its acquisition of Livingston International from Platinum Equity. Livingston is a large international trade services firm specializing in customs brokerage, global freight forwarding and trade consulting throughout North America.

Represented Gridiron Capital

in the benefits and executive compensation matters in its sale of Foundation Wellness to Bansk Group. We managed several complicated workstreams related to the transaction, including conducting a pass-through vote with respect to the transaction for the employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) and coordinating the Section 280G vote process for Foundation Wellness.

Represented a leading national medical supplier

in connection with its $1.1 billion sale to a multinational health care services company.

Spearheaded and successfully advocated for the passage of HB 531,

“Braden’s Law,” criminalizing sextortion in Ohio. Inspired by the tragic suicide of 15-year-old Braden Markus after becoming a victim of sextortion, the legislation was passed unanimously by both chambers of the legislature and signed into law by Governor Mike DeWine. Through the firm’s pro bono program, Benesch pioneered this effort by drafting the legislation, analyzing amendments, coordinating a PR strategy and lobbying members of the House and Senate.

Represented Materion Corporation
