‘Cadwalader approached this the way our clients approach a sophisticated M&A deal. They hired a pre-eminent M&A shop in Davis Polk and engaged in a competitive process, so I was delighted when I got the call saying ‘we want your vision,’ says Hogan Lovells’ CEO Miguel Zaldivar of the firm’s planned merger with Cadwalader.
For Zaldivar, yesterday’s announcement that the firm is in discussions to combine with Wall Street’s Cadwalader as early as next summer marks the end of a long hunt for a New York merger partner for the transatlantic firm.
