The M&A practice at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP adopts an interdisciplinary approach by liaising with the firm’s antitrust, IP, and tax departments, and routinely advises large public companies on high-value transactions. Working across the cybersecurity, oil and gas, and privacy industries, the team is well-equipped to advise on hostile M&A bids, related litigation, governance issues, and shareholder activism. Dallas-based co-head Robert Little concentrates on securities offerings and joint ventures. The New York office is co-led by Saee Muzumdar, who represents strategic companies and private equity clients in global M&A, George Sampas focuses on M&A in the aviation, aerospace and defense sectors, and Barbara Becker advises on spin-offs and general corporate matters. Also operating out of Dallas is Tull Florey, who is adept in transactional and governance matters.
