Erika Morabito
Partner
Foley & Lardner LLP
What led you to a career in the deal-making industry?
There is nothing more satisfying than working through complex issues, often times under extreme pressure and tight deadlines, to reach a deal with your adversaries that truly benefits everyone involved.
How does diversity add value in the deal-making process?
Diversity of thought and experiences within a group results in ideas and innovative approaches that add value to the entire deal-making process. Such value would not exist if diversity was non-existent.
The most memorable deal I worked on....
The Toys R US Settlement Agreement because it was the perfect combination of complexity, diversity, frustration, satisfaction, and compromise.
Advice for achieving success in the industry....
Compromising is not a sign of weakness. Every successful deal involves a little bit of give and a little bit of take.
