“Cross-border negotiations are always difficult and it was essential that there were clear lines of communication between the parties. From my point of view the relationship we built with Desmond [High] was critical to the success of the deal. Inevitably there were differences of opinion on some fundamental matters but he represented his client’s best interests professionally and fairly, and we found ways of resolving these differences amicably.” Mitch Codkind, CFO, Primavera Systems Inc.
