Freshfields Advised Formfactor On Expansion In Silicon Photonics Testing

Global law firm Freshfields has advised FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ: FORM), a leading semiconductor test and measurement supplier, on its acquisition of Keystone Photonics. Keystone Photonics is a Germany-based technology company and a pioneer in optical probing technology for silicon photonics (SiPh) and co-packaged optics (CPO) wafer testing. These technologies are key for next-generation data centers powering AI and high-performance computing – accelerating data communications to handle massive information loads with dramatically lower power consumption.

According to the press release issued by FormFactor, the acquisition strengthens its position at the forefront of this explosive growth, extending its integrated test system leadership for advanced semiconductor packaging and leveraging its unique lab-to-fab position as SiPh and CPO manufacturers leap from concept to high-volume production.

The Freshfields team was led by Alan Chan (Partner), and Judy Lai (Deputy General Counsel), and consisted of Lars Meyer (Partner), Daniel Roggenkemper (Principal Associate), and Alexander Schramm (Associate), and Alexander Schwahn (Partner), Judith Römer (Partner), Merit Olthoff (Partner), Calise Cheng (Partner), and Philipp Lehmann (Counsel), Uwe Salaschek (Counsel), Laura Frühauf (Counsel), Björn Junior (Counsel), and Severin Pretzel (Principal Associate), and Fabienne Gieshoidt (Associate), Johann von Pestalozza (Associate), Lukas Goetz (Associate), Elvan Böninger (Associate), Philipp Valanto (Associate), Kevin Meehan (Associate).
