Latham & Watkins

Latham & Watkins appears to be active on headline transactions across several sectors. Recent matters include advising Antin Infrastructure Partners on the acquisition of Vigor Marine Group and serving in counsel roles on financings for AGent Energy and KaliVir Immunotherapeutics. That mix points to a firm competing in both private capital and M&A work, rather than staying in a single industry lane.

The deal flow points toward a clear strategic focus. Infrastructure, energy transition, and life sciences stand out, while broader corporate finance support remains part of the picture, and in the same market window Charter Communications completed its Liberty Broadband acquisition and announced pricing/package changes for Cox markets, which shows a busy transactional environment where large strategic combinations and follow-on integration work are creating legal demand.

Market and investor signals look constructive for Latham’s core practices. AGent Energy closed an $11 million seed financing, KaliVir completed a $14 million Series A extension, and Antin’s acquisition mandate points to continued private equity activity. These matters indicate ongoing capital formation and acquisition appetite, which should keep demand steady for Latham’s transaction-focused advisory services.
