DLA Piper advised Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. as sole book-running manager in the US$300.15 million initial public offering for Wen Acquisition Corp.

Alongside Alicanti (New York), the deal team included of counsel Christine Lehr (Raleigh) and associates Jordyn Giannone, Andrew Wolfe, and Alexander Grynszpan (all in New York).
