Corporate Partner Anthony Vernace was profiled by the New York Law Journal as one of its 2023 “Dealmakers of the Year.” Anthony was recognized for his work on numerous headline-making deals over the past year, including Twitter’s $44 billion acquisition by Elon Musk; Microsoft’s pending acquisition of Activision Blizzard; and Allen & Overy’s announced merger with Shearman & Sterling, among others. In the profile, Anthony told NYLJ that he takes pride in every matter on which he advises: “While some of the matters I’ve worked on over the past year have received more public attention than others, every deal is important to me and my clients—and so every success is deeply satisfying for me,” he said. Anthony also offered his thoughts on the qualities that make a successful dealmaker, recent factors affecting the M&A marketplace, and the value of working at a firm with a collaborative and collegial culture.
