6: Mergers & Acquisitions

Joining the Relativity crew—David Horrigan, Constantine Pappas, Jessica Galant, and Julie Huner—this month is Nicholas A. Long, senior director of legal operations at Reed Smith. The subject? Mergers and acquisitions—at their best and very worst.

On the table to discuss this month are why that candy bar is called the “Milky Way” (to our shock, it has nothing to do with outer space), whether Michael Jackson’s and Lisa Marie Presley’s marriage was a merger of PR interests, and post-merger etiquette snafus that kill the most promising new beginnings.

Join the conversation on the Relativity Community with your answers to these very important questions from the broadcast:

• If you were to compete against David Horrigan and his beagles in the dog show ring, which breed would you bring?
• Which mergers made you cringe?
• What fantastical M&M flavor is missing from your life?
