Much attorneys Glenn Taxman and Andrew Silver sat down with Los Angeles Daily Journal for an interview on closing deals and creating a lasting impact at the firm. They talked about taking pride in getting deals across the finish line and shared highlights from their journeys at Much.
Taxman, who has led the firm’s Newport Beach, California, office since he opened it in 2002, discussed how Much’s growth over the past two decades has benefited clients. He also covered the firm’s thoughtful approach to expanding its West Coast presence. “We’re very protective of our culture,” Taxman, a member of Much’s Management Committee, said. “Being a lawyer is hard work, but we have all kinds of fun here. It’s truly a family atmosphere, and that is part of our secret sauce.”
Silver, principal in Much’s Corporate & Finance group, described himself as a “deal junkie” while covering his practice. “In corporate M&A, most of the time … you have two sides winning. Somebody wants to sell; somebody wants to buy. They’ve agreed on price and terms. There will be negotiations and disagreements along the way, but the ethos is building something. And I thoroughly enjoy that.”
