MoFo served as legal counsel to SoftBank, with Tokyo office managing partner Ken Siegel and Austin-based corporate partner Lauren Bellerjeau leading the team.
Wilson Sonsini advised Ampere Computing in the high-value transaction, led by partners including Robert Day, Todd Cleary, Brendan Mahan and Adam Bloom.
