After a more productive business year, Biglaw’s corporate partners are full of gratitude.

Ed. note: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day.

As optimism about the deal market continues to return and companies and private equity sponsors alike look to transact through the end of this year and beyond, we expect more M&A activity is likely in the pipeline on the back of the tailwinds of a recovering M&A cycle more generally. We are thankful for the continued opportunity to partner with our clients on some of their most strategic and important transactions over the course of this year and are looking ahead to what lies in store for 2025.

Katherine Kraus, a partner in Simpson Thacher & Bartlett’s corporate department, in comments given to the American Lawyer, on what she and her dealmaker colleagues are thankful for this year.
