Describing his approach to tackling complex legal challenges, Mr. Meisler said, “We thrive at driving consensus among stakeholder groups with differing interests to facilitate a transaction. … This approach allows us to de-risk transactions when we lead engagements, whether on the company side or buy side, by garnering overwhelming support.”
Turning to current and emerging market trends, Mr. Meisler noted, “Persistent geopolitical instability and elevated operating and borrowing costs continue to drive distress and restructuring activity across sectors. … Ultimately, the companies and advisers best positioned to succeed will be those who can move quickly, think creatively and structure solutions tailored to drive consensus in a world with increasingly complex business issues and balance sheets.”
