The Minority Corporate Counsel Association named Joanne Katsantonis an MCCA Rainmaker for her work representing companies in multibillion-dollar M&A and establishing McGuireWoods as a leader in emerging growth areas such as public utility and gas company mergers and utility-scale solar and retail energy transactions. Over the past 18 months alone, she has led more than a dozen solar power transactions with an overall project value of $5 billion. McGuireWoods once again ranked among the top law firms for M&A, private equity, capital markets and syndicated debt financings in highly respected year-end league tables published by Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters. McGuireWoods represented Dominion Energy in its stock-for-stock merger with SCANA to create a combined company serving 6.5 million electric and natural gas distribution customers and operating in 18 states from Connecticut to California. The firm has advised Dominion in many deals, including the company’s 2016 multibillion-dollar acquisition of Questar Corp. McGuireWoods ranked third on Financial Times’ prestigious North America Innovative Lawyers report for 2017, one of only two firms to make award shortlists in six categories — Most Innovative Firm in North America; Litigation and Disputes; Enabling Business Growth; Accessing New Markets and Capital; Strategy and Changing Behaviors; and Collaboration. 2017 marks the second consecutive year FT honored McGuireWoods on the elite list of legal innovators. Jon Harmon and Tracy Walker, with decades of leadership experience, take the reins as chairman and managing partner of McGuireWoods. For the 12th time, BTI named McGuireWoods to its “Client Service 30,” part of its prestigious Client Service A-Team survey. In the report — the gold standard in measuring client service — corporate clients provided unprompted feedback praising the firm’s strategic use of technology to add “tremendous value” and aggressively “gain the upper hand.” McGuireWoods earned recognition in all 17 of the survey’s categories and it is one of only 11 elite firms to make the coveted list at least 10 times.
