The ‘enormously dedicated’ M&A practice at A&O Shearman secures strong feedback for its business-oriented approach, where the group advises on public company and consortium transactions, private sales, and take privates. Leveraging the firm’s geographical coverage, the group frequently collaborates with its tax, financial regulatory, and IP disciplines. The team’s leadership trio comprises Scott Petepiece, known for his ’technical expertise’ in advising boards of directors in negotiated mergers and buy-outs, Daniel Litowitz, who advises multinationals in public and private M&A and hostile acquisitions, and Beth Troy, who is regarded for her ‘incredible work ethic’ in representing corporations and private equity firms in complex M&A. Clare O’Brien focuses on corporate governance and public company restructurings, Romain Dambre impresses with his ’out of the box solutions’ in leveraged buyouts and carve-outs, Rory O’Halloran handles special committee representations, and Roger Morscheiser works on strategic and minority investments in the tech and media industries. The department operates out of the firm’s New York office.
