Joseph O. Larkin

Exceptional Corporate Counsel for a Complex Merger

When our mid-sized technology firm was navigating a complex merger with a larger public company, the stakes were incredibly high. We needed counsel who was not only technically brilliant but also understood the nuanced landscape of Delaware corporate law. Joseph Larkin and his team at Skadden were precisely that. From our first meeting, it was clear his 19 years of experience, particularly in corporate transactions, would be invaluable. He guided us through every intricate detail—from the initial letter of intent and exhaustive due diligence to the final negotiations on governance and indemnification provisions. His advice was always strategic, clear, and commercially focused, never getting lost in legal jargon. The recognition he has received from Best Lawyers is well-deserved and was evident in his command of the process. What truly set Joseph apart was his ability to anticipate potential hurdles and proactively develop solutions, keeping the transaction on track even when unexpected issues arose. The deal closed successfully, and we emerged with a structure that protected our interests perfectly. For any significant corporate matter in Wilmington, Joseph O. Larkin is the attorney I trust without reservation.
