Kansas City, MO (February 19, 2010)—Jack M. Epps, shareholder at Polsinelli Shughart PC, has been recognized as a leader in mergers and acquisitions law by being selected as an author in the recently released book, Inside the Minds: Dealing with M&A Financing and Risk in a Changing Market, published by Aspatore Books, a Thomson Reuters business. Dealing with M&A Financing and Risk in a Changing Market (ISBN: 978-0-314-26259-2), provides an authoritative, insider’s perspective on handling mergers and acquisitions in a changing financial environment.
“I’m honored to be included among the top lawyers in the country discussing the impact of the down economy on M&A transactions, and adapting and creating new strategies to manage and minimize risks involved in doing M&A deals in this environment,” said Epps.
Partners from some of the nation’s leading law firms discuss the risks M&A participants are forced to consider, including changes to financing, target performance, and valuation. From understanding client motivations to managing expectations for returns, these authors explain the lawyer’s role in closing a successful deal in today’s marketplace. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to navigating this rapidly-changing area of law.
The Inside the Minds series provides readers with an unprecedented introspective look into the leading minds of the business and legal world.
