King & Spalding

King & Spalding’s John Shakow to Headline Conference on Medicaid’s New Drug Pricing Rule
John D. Shakow, a King & Spalding healthcare lawyer specializing in FDA regulatory matters, will lead a live 90-minute audio conference entitled “Medicaid’s New Drug Pricing Rule: Analysis and Guidance From DRA Experts” scheduled on Wednesday, January 31, 1:00-2:30 p.m. EST.

The audio conference is presented by HCPro, Inc., and sponsored by Medicare & Reimbursement Advisor Weekly for the benefit of anyone who will be involved in developing comments on the proposed rule or complying with the new price reporting requirements, including decision-makers in government affairs, legal, compliance, drug pricing and regulatory affairs.

The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, or CMS, late last year released a much-anticipated proposed rule for Medicaid drug-price reporting under the Deficit Reduction Act. However, companies must begin filing the new monthly average manufacturer price (AMP) on March 2, months before this proposed rule is expected to become final. The deadline for submitting comments to the proposed rule is February 20.

The conference will analyze CMS’s proposed drug-price reporting rule, help companies prepare to submit comments by the February 20 deadline and help companies comply with the new AMP reporting requirements. Topics will include:

* Discussion of highlights of the 150-page proposed rule
* Analysis of key elements of the proposed rule, including AMP rules, best price, reporting inclusions and exclusions, and implications for rebates and Part D
* Examination of other key topics in the proposed rule, including authorized generics, physician administered drugs, multiple source drugs, single source drugs, new reporting requirements, and field force education

The presentation will conclude with an anonymous question-and-answer period.

Shakow is a counsel in the Washington, D.C., office of King & Spalding. His practice is focused exclusively on the representation of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers on regulatory and litigation issues related to drug pricing and price reporting, including day-to-day counseling, internal investigations, civil litigation and defense in government investigations.

Sullivan & Cromwell LLP

SULLIVAN & CROMWELL LLP ANNOUNCES TIM EMMERSON, LEADING UK M&A LAWYER, TO JOIN FIRM AS PARTNER
Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, a preeminent international law firm, today announced that one of the UK’s leading mergers and acquisitions lawyers, Tim Emmerson, has been elected a partner of the firm and will join its London office during the first quarter of 2007.

A leading UK corporate lawyer, Mr. Emmerson will provide English law advice primarily in the M&A, private equity and equity capital markets areas. Mr. Emmerson has been a partner in the London office of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley and McCloy LLP since 2003, and prior to that was a partner at Freshfields for nine years. His arrival further strengthens Sullivan & Cromwell’s leading M&A practice in Europe, as well as its English law practice in London, which will now comprise five partners, including Vanessa Blackmore, another leading UK corporate lawyer who joined the firm in the summer of 2006.

Mr. Emmerson has worked on many major M&A and private equity transactions, as well as some of the London market’s largest equity offerings, including privatizations. He has advised and represented companies, financial sponsors, investment banks and other financial institutions on transactional, regulatory and reputational issues. Mr. Emmerson will be resident in Sullivan & Cromwell’s London office, the firm’s largest office outside New York, and joins its closely integrated Europe-based team of more than 110 lawyers located in offices in London, Paris and Frankfurt. Upon Mr. Emmerson’s arrival, Sullivan & Cromwell will have 31 partners in Europe, who among them are engaged in the practice of English, French, German, US and EU law.

Rodgin Cohen, chairman of Sullivan & Cromwell, said, “We are delighted that Tim Emmerson, one of the UK’s best known and most highly respected M&A lawyers, is joining us as a partner. Sullivan & Cromwell has consistently ranked among the top M&A firms in Europe and globally, and Tim will significantly strengthen our ability to serve our clients in Europe and elsewhere.” William Plapinger, coordinator of Sullivan & Cromwell’s European offices and managing partner of the firm’s London office, added, “Tim’s arrival is the latest in a series of initiatives we have taken in London, Paris and Frankfurt in recent years to strengthen our capabilities to serve our clients in Europe and worldwide, and demonstrates once again our commitment to Europe, which has long been part of our core practice. The quality and experience of our English, French, German, US and EU lawyers enable us to provide to our clients truly integrated legal advice.”

Richard Morrissey, head of Sullivan & Cromwell’s European M&A and private equity practice, commented, “Tim’s addition to our already superb pan-European M&A and private equity team further enhances our ability to provide the highly sophisticated level of advice on the most complex local and global M&A and private equity matters that is demanded by our corporate, financial sponsor and investment banking clients.”

The firm has consistently ranked at the very top among law firms involved in worldwide M&A transactions. Globally, Sullivan & Cromwell leads the M&A league tables, ranking first by value among law firms representing principals in announced transactions in 2006 (as was also the case in 2005 and 2004), according to data from Bloomberg and Dealogic. The firm’s record in 2006 includes acting in the three largest announced transactions worldwide, in five of the global top 10 transactions, and in the largest announced transaction in each of Europe and the United States.

Sullivan & Cromwell’s global strategy is to be the leading international law firm in providing value-added legal services, advising top business enterprises on the most novel, complex and economically significant transactions. The firm has deep roots in Europe and is committed to further developing its European capabilities in response to the needs of its clients. Sullivan & Cromwell has employed a measured strategy of lateral hiring of partners with domestic law capabilities in France, Germany and the United Kingdom, coupled with continuous efforts to grow these local law practices organically.
