International law firm McDermott Will & Emery represented Beam Suntory Inc., a world leader in premium spirits and producer of Jim Beam® bourbon, in the execution of a Renewable Energy Services Agreement with 3Rivers Energy Partners for the development of a $400 million renewable energy expansion.
As a result of this agreement, Beam Suntory will build a facility across the street from the Booker Noe distillery, Jim Beam’s largest Kentucky Distillery, to convert spent stillage into biogas. The biogas development project will use still from the whiskey distillery process as feedstock to produce renewable natural gas, which will then power the expanded distillery and assist Beam Suntory in achieving its goal to cut its company-wide greenhouse gas emission and water usage in half by 2030.
The transaction closed on September 12, 2022 and the project is expected to be completed by 2024.
In addition to capacity expansion, the investment includes land, warehouses and 51 new local jobs. Further, this project allows the distillery to invest in high-efficiency gas boilers to make maximum use of renewable natural gas, use scrubbing technology to remove carbon dioxide from fermentation tanks and following a purification process, facilitate the beneficial reuse of more than 100,000 metric tons of high-purity carbon dioxide annually.
The McDermott team was led by Parker Lee and Nichole Shustack and included Ming Lei, Isabelle Cunningham, Jacob Hollinger, Heather Cooper and Robert da Silva Ashley.

September 2022 – Ein internationales, aus München koordiniertes Team von McDermott Will & Emery hat unter der Leitung von Dr. Stephan Rau, Dr. Germar Enders und Dr. Nadine Hartung von AUCTUS Capital Partners AG beratene Fonds sowie die PharmaLex Holding GmbH bei dem Verkauf der PharmaLex-Gruppe an die an der NYSE gelistete Amerisource Bergen Corporation beraten. Die Transaktion unterliegt den üblichen Vollzugsbedingungen. Der Vollzug wird bis März 2023 erwartet.
Die PharmaLex-Gruppe mit Sitz in Deutschland und zahlreichen Tochtergesellschaften weltweit bietet pharmazeutischen Unternehmen wissenschaftliche, regulatorische und strategische Beratungsleistungen an. Dies umfasst die Unterstützung bei der klinischen Entwicklung bis hin zur Marktzulassung von Arzneimitteln und bei Gewährleistung der Arzneimittelsicherheit (Pharmakovigilanz) nach Markteintritt. PharmaLex ermöglicht es ihren Kunden damit, deren Arzneimittel weltweit im Einklang mit lokalen regulatorischen Voraussetzungen unter den jeweiligen Marktgegebenheiten zu vermarkten. Viele Beratungsleistungen von PharmaLex sind technologiegestützt. Das Unternehmen beschäftigt Experten aus den Bereichen Wissenschaft, Regulierung, Sicherheit und Compliance (GxP). Viele dieser Experten waren zuvor Eigentümer ihrer eigenen Beratungsgesellschaften, die sie an PharmaLex verkauften. Anfang dieses Jahres erwarb PharmaLex die Technologieplattform Phlexglobal in Großbritannien.
Der Münchner McDermott-Partner Dr. Stephan Rau hat PharmaLex und seine Gesellschafterin Auctus seit 2015 bei zahlreichen Akquisitionen federführend beraten. Dies gilt insbesondere für Zukäufe in den USA, bei denen Dr. Stephan Rau auf die dort ebenfalls marktführende Health- und Life-Sciences-Praxis von McDermott zurückgreifen konnte. Den Kauf von Phlexgobal beriet ein Londoner McDermott-Team unter der Leitung von Ellie West und Sharon Lamb.
