MyFitnessPal
Acquiring an emerging AI company requires more than traditional M&A counsel. It calls for experience across intellectual property, technology, executive compensation and other areas that can become critical when innovative technology is at the center of a deal.
For MyFitnessPal, Benesch brought those capabilities together in one multidisciplinary team to support its acquisition of Cal AI, a rapidly growing AI-powered calorie-counting app. The transaction adds Cal AI’s technology to MyFitnessPal’s digital health offerings and supports the company’s continued focus on innovation and growth.

“Benesch is a visionary partner. They ask the right questions about growth and what matters to our company. They connect us with the right people. What I value most is their ability to distill things down to their essentials—that clarity moves our projects forward.”

Complex M&A transactions often require different law firms to handle different aspects of the deal—adding even more complexity as well as costs.
But for private equity investor Clarendon Capital, Benesch’s deep transactional expertise and nationally renowned Transportation & Logistics Practice eliminate the need for multiple representation. Clarendon also gains access to useful introductions and exposure to potential opportunities through Benesch’s extensive Transportation & Logistics, private equity and investment networks.
We rely on their team for incredibly complex work in the restructuring space and they always deliver. They are 100% client-focused.
