EDITORIAL REVIEW

---

As one of IBM’s favorite counselors, he handled a trio of acquisitions (ILOG, Platform Solutions and Diligent Technologies) and also helped Alcoa sell its packaging business for about $2.7B.



If deals are making a comeback, Mr. Dealmaker may be leading the way, with November’s $5B acquisition by IBM of Cognos and December’s $7.4B merger of Grant Prideco and National Oilwell Varco.


Barshay so impressed execs at King Pharmaceuticals with work for King's banks, they tapped him directly. Result: a $4 billion with Mylan Laboratories.


Chevron, Credit Suisse, IBM and United Airlines crave his corporate law insight, especially for M&A.
