Faegre Drinker advised EPAM Systems, Inc.— a leading global provider of digital platform engineering and software development services — in the company’s acquisition of Ricston Ltd., expanding EPAM’s global Application Programming Interface (API) practice and salesforce capabilities. This was the second international acquisition on which Faegre Drinker’s London office has advised EPAM.
