As a wild week came to a close (with still no closure), we spoke with ALM journalists who have been following both the leadup to and the aftermath of Election Day. In this episode, business of law reporter Dylan Jackson discusses his reporting on how lawyers and staff at law firms have attempted to stay focused on work this past week. Fellow business of law reporter Brenda Sapino Jeffreys explains why dealmakers remain optimistic about M&A next year, regardless of who the president is. And Pennsylvania bureau chief Max Mitchell talks election-related legal challenges in the battleground state. We also discuss the mental toll this election cycle has taken on lawyers and legal professionals.
