In a recent research report published by Aspatore, Inc., Dorsey partner Robert Cattanach and attorney Shannon Heim consider appropriate strategies for telecommunications lawyers to consider in the context of telecommunication mergers and acquisitions.
Cattanach and Heim urge telecommunications lawyers preparing for a merger or acquisition to evaluate the relative leverage and interests of the respective parties, consider the region served and its political landscape, and to explore the areas with most potential risk and reward for legal arbitrage. To assist in this process, they suggest lawyers pursue a flexible approach, engage in appropriate due diligence in regards both regulatory structure and political challenges, and manage client expectations through clear and detailed discussions with key stakeholders before, during, and even after the transaction itself.
