Description:

M&A experts William Sorabella and David Feirstein discussed how they structured and negotiated several high-stakes transactions over the past year, most notably the $11B union between Burger King and Canadian coffee chain Tim Hortons to create the world’s third largest fast-food company. The deal required novel structuring and negotiating under tight time deadlines in the context of Presidential and Congressional scrutiny of tax motivated mergers.
