Mr. Centrich tells the publication what he likes most about working on M&A transactions “is the ability to blend the legal and business aspects of a deal.” He recognizes that he can play “a significant role in guiding negotiating strategy, finding commercial solutions to potential issues and guiding the transaction process from start to finish.”
Chris LaFollette, partner in charge of Akin Gump’s Houston office, described Mr. Centrich as “the guy who takes the most complicated deal, gets everyone on board and closes it timely.”
