In a recent Q&A with IFLR, Thompson Coburn partner Aaron DeLong reflected on his career path and the skills essential for success in transactional law.
Aaron described the matters he’s working on right now: “Right now, I’m working on a potential joint venture transaction, along with a few active energy asset acquisitions. I’m also guiding a middle-market services company through a separation between its two largest equity holders. It’s a good example of the range of issues that can come across my desk in a single week.”
