McCarty Speaks at London Symposium
Linda McCarty, a partner at the law firm of Wall Esleeck Babcock in Winston-Salem, recently spoke on the topic of “Cross Border Deals: Getting it Done and Making it Work” at the Third Global Mergers and Acquisitions Symposium in London, England. The purpose of the symposium was to provide insight on trends in financial markets, mergers and acquisitions, due diligence in cross-border transactions as well as changes in regulatory environments.
McCarty, a native of Sweden, joined Wall Esleeck Babcock in 2007 and represents foreign and domestic clients in a wide variety of corporate, tax and commercial matters, particularly at the international level. She has extensive experience representing European companies entering the U.S. market and offers a highly unique understanding of European culture and languages (McCarty is fluent in Swedish, Norwegian and Danish, and she is proficient in German).
Through her professional and volunteer efforts, Linda has worked tirelessly to enhance business and cultural relations between European countries and the United States. During 2008, she facilitated a rare visit by Swedish Ambassador Jonas Hafström to the Triad to foster better business, cultural and educational relationships.
Linda is a member of the Executive Committee of the Primerus International Transactional Service Practice Group, an international society of independent boutique law firms. Primerus, along with the Alliance of Merger & Acquisition Advisors, served as sponsor and host of the London symposium. Wall Esleeck Babcock is a member of Primerus.
Earlier in her career, she worked at Blanco Tackabery & Matamoros in Winston-Salem and at Vacovec Mayotte & Singer in Boston, where she focused her practice on international taxation and corporate law. McCarty received her LL.M in taxation from Boston University School of Law in 2002, and earned her Juris Doctorate degree from New England School of Law in 2001. McCarty received her Bachelor degree from San Diego State University in 1998.
