A Hughes Hubbard team led by Marc Weinstein won a major victory when a Connecticut federal court tossed a Department of Justice criminal antitrust case, entering a judgment of acquittal immediately after the government rested.

The firm represented Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (MSGE) and TAO Group Hospitality in the sale of Tao Group Hospitality to global investment company Mohari Hospitality.

The firm received The M&A Advisor’s Restructuring of the Year Award for advising Delta Air Lines in its capacity as strategic partner and equity investor in the Chapter 11 restructuring of Grupo Aeroméxico.

The firm advised special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. V in its proposed merger with electric vehicle manufacturer Arrival. The deal – announced on April 6 – was valued at $524 million and is expected to close in the second half of 2023.

Hughes Hubbard attorneys notched yet another victory for client Imperial Pacific International (IPI), when the U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands ruled in February it was granting IPI's mid-trial motion and dismissing breach of contract and unjust enrichment claims brought against IPI by an engineering firm.

Hughes Hubbard recently obtained asylum for our pro bono client – a woman who fled to the U.S. from gender- and family-based gang violence in El Salvador – after years of assisting her in her asylum application.
