Steven Eichel's Insight
"Once I have a firm grasp on my client’s principal objectives in an M&A transaction, I view my primary role as making sure those objectives are met rather than trying to “score” as many “points” as possible in negotiating the details of the legal documentation. Particularly when I am representing a non-U.S. acquirer or seller in a cross-border transaction where my client is unfamiliar with U.S. market standards and typical deal terms, my most valuable advice often consists of explaining to my client why a particular negotiating position the client is asserting is either not nearly as important as the client thinks it is or is so off-market in the United States that winning the point will come at too great a cost to the client’s credibility and overall negotiating leverage on more critical points. If I think my client is acting against its own best interests based on my understanding of what the client really wants to accomplish, I don’t hesitate to share my views and ask the client to take a step back and reconsider the relevant position. My clients really appreciate that I’m a proactive, trusted advisor and not simply a scribe."
