October 19, 2020On Monday, October 19, M&A partner Melissa Sawyer, co-head of the Firm’s Corporate Governance & Activism practice, participated in a discussion at the Milken Institute Global Conference on “M&A: Dealing with Uncertainty.” The panel examined whether M&A activity will remain subdued through the rest of the COVID-19 pandemic; whether previously prohibitive deals may become viable as industries and business models adapt to the new climate; and what factors might incite dealmakers to seize opportunities in a disrupted economy.
The discussion was moderated by CNBC reporter Leslie Picker and will also included Makan Delrahim, Assistant Attorney General of the Antitrust Division at the U.S. Department of Justice; John Huwiler, Jeffries Global Head of M&A; and Amy Lissauer, Bank of America’s Global Head of Activism and Raid Defense.
