AGG has represented RPC for more than 40 years. Michael C. Thaler, co-chair of AGG’s Corporate & Finance practice, led the firm’s work on the matter. The team also included AGG Corporate & Finance attorneys Lena M. Hirsch, Ryan P. Lynn, and Tyler E. Stokes; AGG Tax attorneys Zach D. Wilson and Christian J. Husby; and senior paralegal Rebecca Saferstein.

“AGG’s long partnership and acute understanding of our business made them an invaluable resource throughout the transaction,” said Palmer. “Their guidance — from regulatory strategy to deal execution — was critical to completing this acquisition efficiently and effectively.”

The transaction closed on April 1, 2025.
