Edmund Reed is highly capable on M&A on behalf of a client base of private equity funds and serves as the firm's managing partner. He is active on buyouts and exit transactions across a broad range of sectors.
His bedside manner with clients, colleagues and others is nothing short of gentlemanly, but that doesn't stop him from being a tough negotiator and an astute observer of motivations and needs.
Edmund's deep understanding of clients' businesses and extensive deal experience make him one of the best practitioners I know.
