WELCOME TO THE NEW ROPES RECAP—our quarterly briefing of M&A news, trends and legal developments. We are thrilled to launch this new publication, which includes contributions from more than 30 members of our global team.

  • What is the EU General Data Protection Regulation and does it apply to U.S. companies?
  • Must notice provisions in transaction agreements be strictly complied with?
