Wrestling William Blair: The Ultimate Guide to Corporate Takeovers

The inside story of the epic battle for control of a major Wall Street firm

In the annals of American business, the story of William Blair & Company is one of the most remarkable. Founded in 1935, the firm rose to become one of the most respected investment banks in the country. But in 2009, it was targeted by a hostile takeover bid by a much larger rival.

Wrestling William Blair is the inside story of the epic battle that ensued. Marc Luzzatto, a veteran financial journalist, provides a gripping account of the high-stakes drama, the clash of egos, and the ultimate triumph of good over evil.

Luzzatto draws on exclusive interviews with key players in the takeover battle, including William Blair's CEO, chairman, and board members. He also provides a detailed analysis of the legal and financial strategies used by both sides.

Wrestling William Blair is a must-read for anyone interested in corporate takeovers, finance, or the history of American business. It is a story of courage, determination, and the power of the underdog.
