Jenifer Smith

Expert M&A Counsel for a Complex Acquisition

Our company engaged Jenifer Smith at Latham & Watkins to guide us through the acquisition of a key competitor. With nearly two decades of experience, her deep knowledge of Texas corporate law and the intricacies of M&A was immediately apparent. She expertly navigated complex due diligence, identified potential regulatory hurdles specific to our industry, and structured the deal to protect our interests. Her recognition in Mergers and Acquisitions Law is well-deserved; she operates with a strategic foresight that goes beyond just checking legal boxes. The entire process felt secure and well-managed under her guidance. While Jenifer's expertise is top-tier, there were occasional delays in receiving responses from her team on non-critical follow-up questions, which required a gentle nudge. That said, when it came to the high-stakes negotiations and final agreements, she was always fully present and decisive. For any business in Austin facing a significant transaction, Jenifer provides invaluable counsel. Her blend of UT Law training and practical, long-term experience makes her a formidable asset.
