Neustar to Be Acquired by TransUnion for $3.1 Billion

Paul, Weiss is advising Neustar in its $3.1 billion sale to TransUnion by a private investment group led by Golden Gate Capital and with minority participation by Singapore-based investment firm GIC. Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, Neustar is an industry-leading identity resolution company with leading solutions in marketing, fraud and communications, serving more than 8,000 clients worldwide, including 60 of the Fortune 100.
