Reed Smith LLP partner and Global Vice-Chair of the Private Equity Group Chris Sheaffer has been quoted in a Middle Market Growth Magazine article “Unwavering Optimism: Dealmakers Say the M&A Tide Is Finally Turning”. “At the beginning of [last] year, there was an expectation that there was going to be a very robust M&A market throughout 2024, but that wave did not come to fruition in a way that a lot of people had hoped,” said Sheaffer. “But we have seen a significant uptick in deal activity, especially in the middle market and lower middle market, particularly the number of sell-side engagements that we’re seeing.” Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gVASCupp #mergersandacquisitions

The 38-year-old partner developed a broad practice while at Kirkland & Ellis, focusing mainly on advising private equity fund clients on national and cross-border M&A and private equity transactions.

Great article featuring the perspective of Shannan Rahman, my colleague, on the potential merger of Troutman Pepper and Locke Lord.

Shareholders Rights 101: The Proposal for the AGM Massy’s Corporate Cowardice and Missing Common Sense #FixMassy My proposal calls for Robert Riley’s removal as The Massy Group Chairman and the implementation of critical governance reforms - before it's too late. I notified Massy (and the regulators) I'd seek court intervention if they didn’t share my proposal with shareholders. Hiding behind J.D. Sellier + Co. Massy sprang to life - after 51 days of silence, with a same-day refusal, filled with inaccuracies, untruths, misinformation. They also instructed me to direct all communication to Sellier. Good luck with that... #Massy says... -It’s personal, not about shareholders. But if everything is fine, why did three senior executives including the CEO exit so hastily? -I'm promoting a (non-existent) business. Seriously? I registered a name and sent a new email to my professional network when I was put on leave. But, Ms. Kerry and Mr. O’Brien ran actual, active businesses, including the one O’Brien bought from Massy and operated while still employed. -My "behaviour" at the AGM was "extraordinary". What's extraordinary is Riley's 18-month session with #Delphi, who say they can talk to dead people. Worse, Riley went back again, spending even more shareholder money on private lessons with Delphi and Corporate Secretary Kerry. -I have no business with the day-to-day management. Are million dollar psychic consultations, unexplained executive exits, and a $175M write-off 'day-to-day' operations? Shareholders have every right to challenge these strategic failures. #InconvenientTruths They accuse me of a smear campaign. I can support everything. But Massy ? lied about Delphi - Delphi confirmed it ? lied about my ‘redundant’? role - Wendy Kerry filled it ? lied about me asking for ￡11 M - they offered me $24 million to stay silent ? lied about US$ dividends - 279 shareholders get US$; 97% of us don't #UncomfortableQuestions Do we want a Chairman: Who drank the Delphi Kool-Aid? Who relied on hope as a strategy? Who oversaw a write-off of $175M? Who spent several million on a report no one's seen, which found nothing? Who's paying Sellier more shareholder money to defend himself and block me? #RelationshipConflicts Riley, apparently in need of legal protection from my ‘personal vendetta,’ didn't just hire any law firm he chose J.D. Sellier + Co., which counts Republic Bank as one of its biggest clients. And, remember, Riley also sits on the Republic Bank board. But, there's more - Riley himself is on Sellier’s advisory board. Massy is spending shareholder money on high-priced legal counsel to block me and to deny my shareholder rights. Why? What is Riley hiding? Who is being protected? Shareholders? Or is Riley looking out for himself? #CorporateArrogance The share price is tanking, shareholders are selling, and we're waiting for another Clico? No, thanks. No more excuses. No more evasion. #MassyShareholders #HoldPowerToAccount #NotAntotherClico
