Cleary Gottlieb partner Jim Langston says he is confident M&A is "beyond the green shoots phase" and more deals will come later this year. He dined with Kerry last month as part of our "1 big meal" interview series.
Why he matters: Langston joined Cleary in 2011 and became a partner in 2015. His firm works on public and private M&A, including hostile takeovers and contested deals. Media clients include Sony and T-Mobile.
