In a Law360 article, health care partner and practice co-chair Tim McCrystal discussed the most influential 2025 midyear health care deals.

Tim cites Johnson & Johnson’s $14.6 billion acquisition of Intra-Cellular Therapies that includes the drug Caplyta, which is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia. Tim notes the deal reflects an expansion of J&J’s portfolio of neurology related drugs and the need for additional biopharmaceutical products and health care services in the neuro disease sector.

The article mentions the Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) $23.7 billion take-private transactions with Sycamore Partners as one of the top half-year health care deals and notes that Ropes & Gray is serving as health care regulatory advisor to WBA.
