Imagine this. You wake up one morning to find that your employer has just been acquired. All of a sudden all bets are off. Your phone is buzzing with messages from transferees desperate to understand the immigration and personal implications. Your role is to support them through a period of huge uncertainty until the deal closes many months later. This is exactly what happened to Stephanie Ortiz-Minami, GMS in March 2023 when Seattle based Seagen announced that it was to be acquired by New York based Pfizer.
We often look at M&A from the acquirer’s perspective, but actually it is the target company where change is often most dramatic, and ambiguity most stressful.
