6: Mergers & Acquisitions

Episode Summary

Which mergers and acquisitions are you bitter about? The Relativity gang and their guest, Nicholas Long from Reed Smith, answer this question and more in this month’s episode. Listen in and you’ll also hear about the dogs David Horrigan showed in the ring in a former life, which M&M flavors can’t be lived without, and why bad etiquette can ruin even the most promising mergers.

Episode Notes

Joining the Relativity crew—David Horrigan, Constantine Pappas, Jessica Galant, and Julie Huner—this month is Nicholas A. Long, senior director of legal operations at Reed Smith. The subject? Mergers and acquisitions—at their best and very worst.

On the table to discuss this month are why that candy bar is called the “Milky Way” (to our shock, it has nothing to do with outer space), whether Michael Jackson’s and Lisa Marie Presley’s marriage was a merger of PR interests, and post-merger etiquette snafus that kill the most promising new beginnings.
