Patrick Dupuis

Exceptional M&A guidance for our cross-border acquisition

Our company, based in Austin, was navigating a complex acquisition of a smaller tech firm in Paris. The cross-border elements, differing regulatory landscapes, and tight timeline made the process daunting. We were fortunate to be connected with Patrick Dupuis at Skadden. Despite his relatively few years in practice, his depth of knowledge in Mergers and Acquisitions was immediately apparent and clearly aligned with the recognition he's received in that field. Patrick managed the entire process with remarkable professionalism and foresight. He not only expertly handled the corporate structuring and due diligence but also anticipated potential French regulatory hurdles we hadn't even considered. His bilingual fluency and understanding of both U.S. and French business law were invaluable. Patrick was consistently responsive, translated complex legal concepts into clear business terms for our team, and negotiated terms that protected our interests without derailing the deal. The transaction closed smoothly and on schedule. I would not hesitate to recommend Patrick for any corporate matter, especially those with an international component. His performance was that of a far more seasoned attorney.
