Haas, the co-head of M&A at Hunton Andrews Kurth, discusses what he learned from working for Travis Laster, the state of Delaware law on officer liability, MAE clauses and ordinary course covenants and why he enjoys teaching M&A at the University of Richmond.
As a first-year associate in 2005, Steven Haas got a call from J. Travis Laster. Haas had been a student in a course Laster taught on Delaware takeover litigation at the University of Virginia School of Law the previous year, and Laster wanted to know if Haas would join him as an associate at a firm he and Kevin Abrams were launching in Wilmington.
