    Short version: Did a bunch of deals. Managed to keep my soul.

    Long version:

    Performed complex legal analyses and negotiated deal mechanics to strategically guide... more mergers, acquisitions, investments and joint ventures within various financial, disclosure, and risk-allocation parameters.

    Coordinated with and worked alongside senior management and the cross-functional deal teams (including finance, accounting and legal) in transactions valued at over $100 billion in the aggregate.
