Daniel will co-lead the firm’s Financial Services Mergers & Acquisitions practice. He joins Mayer Brown from Sidley Austin LLP.

O’Brien on its merger with StoneX Group, representing Munich Re Life US on its strategic partnership with MIB, and advising Conagra on the sale of the Chef Boyardee brand to Brynwood Partners.
