• Lead day-to-day execution of M&A and capital advisory transactions, including sellside and buyside M&A, activism and raid defense, divestitures, spin-offs, IPOs, equity and equity-linked capital raising, special committee engagements, debt and restructuring advisory, and the evaluation of strategic alternatives.
