Foley Featured in Law.com for Guiding Kontoor Brands in Sale of Lee®
Foley & Lardner LLP partner Bryan Schultz is featured for leading the Foley deal team which advised Kontoor Brands in the sale of its Lee® business in Law.com‘s “How the Deal Got Done” series.
“This was less one lightbulb moment of creative lawyering and more a matter of how Foley’s dynamic, cross-functional team came together to support our client,” Schultz said of the transaction, announced in May.
Schultz highlighted how given “the restructuring touched virtually every element of the business across dozens of entities across the globe,” separating the two entities “required marshaling lawyers across multiple disciplines who understood our client’s business, history, and vision for the future, ensuring the deal documents matched the commercial reality.”
“Foley’s M&A team, supported by our tax, employee benefits, labor and employment, IP, antitrust, and other teams, kept all these pieces moving together, bringing the whole of the firm to the whole of the client,” Schultz concluded.
