I have represented buyers, sellers and their financial advisors in a wide variety of transactions, including negotiated and contested public acquisitions, private acquisitions and divestitures, cross-border transactions, management buyouts, restructurings, spin-offs, and joint ventures and other strategic alliances. I also have counseled issuers, selling shareholders and investment banks in public offerings and private placements of debt and equity securities.In addition, I advise clients regarding securities law compliance, corporate governance issues, disclosure issues, stock repurchase programs, shareholder agreements and proxy contests, among other issues. I have counseled numerous clients regarding shareholder activism and other governance and corporate control matters.Since 2010, I have had the privilege of leading Skadden's Chicago Office and serving on our Firm's Policy Committee (our global managing board). Our Chicago Office is comprised of approximately 150 extraordinary attorneys offering our clients in the Midwest the combination of expertise close at hand, access to the Firm's global resources and an intimate understanding of how business is done in Chicago, across the Midwest and beyond.In certain jurisdictions, this may be considered attorney advertising.
