Strengths

Provided by Chambers

"It was a complex transaction, so Proskauer's thought partnership to craft a transaction that would be supported by all parties was critical. They know all the players and have seen it all before - it is a source of great efficiency that they can put an issue out with their recommended solution, as opposed to leaving it open to ponder."
