Akin

The M&A team at Akin works in tandem with the firm’s tax, debt finance, and IP teams to advise on stock sales, leveraged buyouts, tender offers, stock sales, carve-outs, and contested transactions. Primarily active within the energy, tech, and media industries, the group is led by Zachary Wittenberg, who is recommended for his experience in public and private M&A, and the corporate aspects of restructurings. Sergio Urias’ scope of work includes advising private equity funds on cross-border M&A and transactions within Latin America, while Houston-based John Goodgame handles strategic transactions and corporate governance work, and Jason Koenig covers shareholder activism matters. Unless otherwise noted, all named practitioners are based in New York.
