Latham & Watkins advised Alliance Data Systems Corp., a data-based provider of marketing and loyalty programs, in its $4.4 billion sale of its Epsilon Data Management business to Publicis Groupe. The firm represented the lead investors in DoorDash’s $400 million Series F funding round and represented Mellanox, maker of high-performance interconnect technology used in supercomputers, in its $6.9 billion sale to NVIDIA Corp.
That slate of deals landed Latham a spot as a finalist for the Tech Deal Department of the Year as part of the California Leaders in Tech Law and Innovation Awards. Benjamin Potter, the global vice chair of the emerging companies practice and co-chair of the technology industry group, recently discussed Latham’s “one firm firm” ethos with The Recorder.
