MLex is a global business that serves customers in North America, Continental Europe, the UK, Asia and Latin America. The MLex organization operates out of various offices around the world including London, Brussels, Washington D.C., Hong-Kong, San Francisco and Sao Paolo.
MLex is looking for a seasoned journalist in Washington, DC, to cover mergers in the US.
The beat involves coverage of regulatory risk related to mergers in the US, and in particular, the coverage of DOJ and FTC reviews of major deals. MLex seeks to get ahead of the procedural story through deep-dive analyses of the markets and case law to anticipate where regulatory problems may lie. It’s a high-pressure beat in which there’s an expectation you’ll break market-moving news while offering the forward-looking analysis that helps inform investment and corporate decision-making. The readership is exacting but broad, covering law firms advising on deals, the regulators overseeing approvals, investors trading off of merging companies’ share-price volatility, and the companies themselves at senior levels.
Purpose of the role:
To conduct US M&A regulatory coverage, breaking exclusive stories and writing forward-looking commentary and analysis on emerging M&A situations, particularly those of interest to the hedge-fund arbitrage readership.
To lead the coverage through hands-on mentoring and coordination on individual stories and longer-term story management, with deference to and in coordination with the Global Chief Correspondent and reporting to the Managing Editor.
To coordinate, under the GCC, with the rest of the global MLex teams to ensure joined-up coverage of international mergers often undergoing parallel reviews in multiple jurisdictions.
To be a point of contact for the outside world, particularly the US, representing MLex’s US M&A coverage in the press, and to subscribers among the legal and hedge-fund readership.
