NEW YORK, March 2, 2022 – Proskauer, a leading international law firm, is pleased to announce that Partner Lauren Boglivi, co-head of the Firm’s global Mergers & Acquisitions Group, has been named to Mergers & Acquisitions’ 7th Annual “Most Influential Women in Mid-Market M&A” list.
Lauren was among 24 women selected for Mergers & Acquisitions’ annual list which recognizes women who demonstrate leadership both inside and outside of their firms and a commitment to give back as role models and mentors. This year’s class of dealmakers are not only trailblazers for other women, but the entire M&A industry.
Lauren is at the forefront of some of the most defining M&A matters particularly in the health care, media and entertainment, and gaming industries. She recently represented Blade Urban Mobility Inc. in its $825 million de-SPAC business combination with KSL Capital’s SPAC – Experience Investment Corp. This paved the way for Blade becoming the first publicly traded urban air mobility company.
“It is an honor to be named alongside this accomplished group of women whose expertise has made them trailblazers in the M&A space. I’ve been fortunate to start and build my legal career at Proskauer, and I strongly believe in inspiring the next generation of female lawyers by helping to create opportunities for them to succeed and thrive,” said Lauren.
Lauren is a sponsor for Proskauer’s Women’s Sponsorship Program (WSP) and on the Women Partners Advisory Committee. The Women’s Sponsorship Program aims to retain talented midlevel women lawyers by taking an active interest in their careers and providing them with the tools and support to become future leaders.
To be selected for inclusion, Mergers & Acquisitions examined how nominees influenced the broader M&A industry, paved the way for innovation, their role in advancing the state of women, and how they champion diversity, equity and inclusion.
