Monday was a busy day for Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom corporate partner Jeffrey Tindell, writes The American Lawyer. The 58-year-old M&A specialist was the lead deal lawyer for DRS Technologies in its $5.2bn (£2.67bn) acquisition by Italian defense contractor Finmeccanica and for Comtech Telecommunications on its $224m (£115.1m) acquisition of fellow telecoms group Radyne. Both deals were announced on May 12.
“It’s been a busy past couple of weeks,” says Tindell, a 32-year Skadden veteran. Tindell says DRS is a longtime client of the firm while Comtech “came on in the past six months or so” after a referral from an investment banker.
