During my tenure as the lead corporate counsel at ABC Corporation, I successfully led multiple mergers and acquisitions, playing a pivotal role in the due diligence process and the overall success of the transactions. In one particular acquisition, I coordinated a team of attorneys and specialists to conduct a thorough review of legal, operational, and financial aspects of the target company. We identified a potential litigation risk that had not been disclosed by the target company, which could have had severe consequences.
