There was no shortage of recognizable firms involved in two major deals early this week, as  eBay has sold off its classified ads business to Norwegian firm Adevinta ASA for $9.2 billion and Chevron announced it would acquire troubled hydrocarbon exploration firm Noble Energy for $5 billion. 

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom; Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz; and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton were all involved in the eBay/Adevinta deal. Vinson & Elkins; Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison; and Shearman & Sterling handled the Chevron/Noble Energy transaction.
