(New York) – Akin Gump financial restructuring partner Meredith Lahaie has been recognized by Euromoney Legal Media Group with an Americas Rising Stars Award for her role in Lantern Entertainment’s $289 million acquisition of The Weinstein Company (TWC)’s assets. The awards recognize those lawyers who are “leading the field in the legal sector across the Americas.”
