Angela B. Martin, Devine Millimet & Branch
Recognized as a Lawyer of the Year in Closely Held Companies and Family Businesses Law
We selected eight Lawyers of the Year for portraits and asked them to share a favorite quotation and to tell us why they love what they do. These profiles appeared along with Woodward/White’s annual Best Lawyers in America list, as published in our November issue.
“There is no shortcut to life. To the end of our days, life is a lesson imperfectly learned.” — Harrison Salisbury
Why do you love what you do? “As co-chair of our firm’s Mergers and Acquisitions Practice Group, I am involved in many of our firm’s M&A deals. I thrive on structuring an M&A transaction that is perhaps the most important financial decision of a client’s lifetime. In doing so, I can appreciate the many sacrifices of long days, missed family time, financial risks and lessons learned while building their business. One of my greatest professional pleasures is to see my clients reap the financial rewards of a lifetime of hard work. The successful closing of a transaction represents not only the end of a very long and eventful chapter in their lives, but also the beginning of a new one.”
