EI Principals Philip Nelson and William Hall help clear Regal Beloit Corporation’s Acquisition of AO Smith’s Electric Motor Business.

EI Principals Philip Nelson and William Hall assisted Regal Beloit Corporation in obtaining approval of its purchase of the electric motor business of AO Smith. Regal Beloit and the business acquired from AO Smith both manufacture a variety of electric motors. Following an investigation by the Department of Justice, Regal Beloit agreed to sell certain assets to address the Department’s competitive concerns. EI worked closely with Howard Fogt and Alan Rutenberg of Foley & Lardner LLP, the legal representatives for Regal Beloit.
