Art Robinson, Global Head of the Firm’s Capital Markets Practice, and Corporate Partner Marisa Stavenas were quoted in a Law360 article titled, “Liability Management Transactions Accelerate Amid Pandemic,” which detailed the uptick in transactions used by companies to reduce balance sheet pressures.
