Andrew is dedicated to getting the deal done, whether guiding clients through a new venture, or working with clients (both strategic and financial) to build, improve, add to, or exit from their existing businesses.
More About Andrew
As chair of Seyfarth’s national Corporate department and co-chair of the firm's Mergers & Acquisitions practice, Andrew has extensive experience on all sides of a deal. He is a classic "closer," guiding his clients through negotiations and the transaction process by understanding their business, analyzing and assessing risk, and building bridges rather than throwing up hurdles. While Andrew always vigorously represents the interests of his clients, he understands that deal-making should be a collaborative process in order to achieve a successful transaction.
Andrew enjoys being part of the life-changing moment when an owner goes from day-to-day care of a business they've grown from the ground up, to the next chapter full of possibilities. On the buy side, he works with strategic companies as well as financial buyers (including private equity firms and family offices) to invest in the future of their businesses, whether the goal is to build a new platform or improve or add to their current portfolio. No matter where his clients are in the life cycle of buying and selling, Andrew ensures the pieces of the puzzle come together for their benefit.
Andrew is also a trusted adviser to many of his clients with regard to general corporate and other matters, including corporate governance and the day-to-day operation of their business. His business-minded and practical approach allows him to speak the same language as his clients and work with them to achieve their objectives.
"M&A deals are not cookie-cutter. Each new deal requires versatility, practicality, judgment, and the ability to perceive and handle issues that are unique to the client and that particular transaction. Not every client or deal is the same, and I understand that."
For the benefit of his clients and department, Andrew stays on top of trends and activity in mergers and acquisitions, and is well versed in where the market is on deal terms, how transactions should play out, where the risks are, and which areas he should push back on the hardest. In his role as Corporate department chair, Andrew oversees recruiting, talent development, and budgeting, among other things. He leads educational programming initiatives and plays a significant role in training younger attorneys, providing them with real-world experience that equips them with tools for success.
Andrew has extensive experience with representation and warranty insurance, a tool that exemplifies how to get deals done by bridging the gap between buyers and sellers. He negotiates these policies regularly and works with insurance companies and insurance brokers on behalf of his clients. Andrew also uses technology, such as the firm's proprietary data sites and budgeting tools, to enhance his service offering.
As no M&A deal can be done alone, Andrew enjoys being the quarterback of his clients' transactions, bringing together firm resources to meet their goals. This is a rewarding experience for him, especially at Seyfarth where his colleagues—who are accomplished practitioners from a wide range of practice areas—are ready to jump in at a moment's notice to support any needs.
