Google Completes $32 Billion Acquisition of Wiz

Cleary Gottlieb advised Google on the antitrust aspects of its $32 billion acquisition of Wiz, Inc., a leading cloud security platform headquartered in New York.

The deal closed on March 11, 2026.

The transaction represents a significant investment by Google Cloud to accelerate two major trends in the AI era: improved cloud security and customers’ ability to use multiple clouds. As of the closing date, Wiz will join Google Cloud.

Following the transaction’s announcement in March 2025, Google obtained clearances from competition agencies across the globe. During the 12-month regulatory review process, the transaction was unconditionally cleared by the U.S., the European Commission, Australia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Türkiye.

Cleary has represented Google as lead antitrust counsel in securing clearance for numerous prior transactions, including its acquisitions of Mandiant, Motorola Mobility, AdMob, Fitbit, DoubleClick, Waze, Looker, and YouTube.

The Cleary team included partners Leah Brannon, Blair Matthews, Cunzhen Huang, Robbert Snelders, Conor Opdebeeck-Wilson, Basak Arslan, and Paul Gilbert, and associates Tobi Kraft, Lara Ellenberg, Ben Fridman, Huanbing (Izzy) Xu, Jon Polanec, Aleksandar Jevtic, Giancarlo Piscitelli, Spyros Drakopoulos, Claire Ren, Daphne Loupa, and Lanto Sheridan.
