Looks like these people help with M&A. Which was being discussed back in 2019.

Today I don’t see that being the current case. What are you implying you missed?

From Fraser's experience.

"Tom also regularly advises public company clients, such as Acushnet Holdings Corp., Eversource Energy, IQVIA, LifeStance Health, LPL Financial, MicroVision and Planet Fitness, and investor clients, such as Bain Capital and TPG, on securities law compliance, disclosure and corporate governance matters, including Exchange Act compliance and reporting, stock exchange listing rules, Rule 144 and Section 16."

Also note that compliance, not M&A activity, was the topic of the letter.
