Indispensable Guidance Through a Complex Merger

Our company recently navigated a high-stakes merger that presented significant antitrust considerations. Engaging Derek Yee of Ropes & Gray was the best decision we made. His deep, 11-year expertise in both mergers & acquisitions and antitrust law was immediately apparent. Derek didn't just review documents; he anticipated regulatory hurdles we hadn't even considered, crafting a proactive strategy that addressed potential FTC concerns from the outset. His recognition by Best Lawyers in these specific fields is clearly well-earned. Throughout the intense process in Boston, Derek maintained a calm, strategic demeanor, explaining complex legal concepts with clarity and ensuring our entire leadership team was aligned. The transaction closed smoothly, with favorable terms, due in large part to his meticulous preparation and foresight. He is a consummate professional who delivers exceptional results.
