    January 28, 2026

    Senior M&A Partner Frank Aquila was featured on an episode of The Sonder Podcast with Kevin Sinnott in which he explored the decisions that shaped his legal career, what he looks for in the lawyers he mentors, how elite M&A teams are positioning themselves for the market ahead and the growing role of AI in the legal profession.

    As AI becomes more useful to lawyers, Frank emphasized that it will “free” younger lawyers to do more “substantive” work. Frank encourages young lawyers to “experiment” with AI and “understand it” as it takes hold in the industry, much like the internet did in the early 1990s.
