Partner Victoria Lupu has been named a Law360 Rising Star in mergers and acquisitions, recognizing her outsize impact helping deliver some of the largest and most transformative tech and life sciences mergers in recent years, including the biggest generative-AI-related acquisition to date when Databricks bought MosaicML.
"It was really fun to be right in the midst of that as it was really taking off," she told Law360 about the fast-moving, $1.3 billion acquisition, which came together over the Memorial Day weekend in 2023.
The MosaicML deal—along with Victoria’s subsequent roles helping Databricks buy data management company Tabular and advising Alpine Immune Sciences Inc. in its $4.9 billion sale to Vertex Pharmaceuticals—highlight Victoria’s place on the vanguard of trendsetting deals in emerging spaces, according to Law360.
The Rising Stars award recognizes exceptional lawyers under the age of 40 whose legal accomplishments belie their age.
