Alphabet is a collection of businesses, the largest of which is Google. Google’s core products and platforms, such as Android, Chrome, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Maps, Google Play, Photos, Search and YouTube, have billions of users. Alphabet’s non-Google businesses are generally far afield of its main internet products in areas such as self-driving cars, life sciences and internet access.

The Davis Polk corporate team included partners Alan F. Denenberg and Emily Roberts and associates Julia Molo and Hannah R. Carter. Counsel Danielle Rapaccioli and associate Jeff Metzger provided tax advice. Partner Frank Azzopardi and associates Lachlan J. Forrester and Syma Birenbaum provided intellectual property advice. Members of the Davis Polk team are based in the Northern California and New York offices.
