Boston, MA. Nixon Peabody LLP is proud to have represented TDK Corporation in its acquisition of Qeexo, Co., the first company to automate end-to-end machine learning (ML) for smart edge devices. Qeexo will become a wholly owned subsidiary of TDK.
TDK is a leading multinational electronics company that manufactures a range of electronic components for the automotive, industrial and consumer electronics, and information and communication technology sectors.

We are honored to be part of this transaction.”
In addition to Krob, the core Nixon Peabody team involved in this acquisition included partners David Allswang, Daniel Burnham, Sean Clancy, Alexandra Lopez-Casero, David Martland, and Damian Myers; counsels Conrad Adkins, David Crosby, Jenny Holmes, and Jason Kunze; associates Robert Pethick and Marc Zhang; senior paralegal Timothy Fiester; and law clerk Yasmin Hayre.
