Rob Kindler Discusses M&A Career on Drinks With The Deal Podcast

Corporate partner Rob Kindler discusses his long career as an M&A lawyer and banker on the most recent episode of the Drinks With The Deal podcast. In the wide-ranging interview that first aired on May 29, Rob talks about doing deals at Morgan Stanley; his mentors, including the late Samuel C. Butler; and the importance of nurturing lifelong relationships with clients and former colleagues.

“The way to succeed in this world is to have lifelong connectivity,” Rob said on the podcast. “Whoever I dealt with from associates to paralegals, I tried to keep that connectivity going. A lot of the business I’ve gotten over the years has come from young investment bankers whom I worked with back in the 1980s and 1990s.”
