Highlights:
I slept a total of 10 hours over those 8 days.
Lived only on a combination of redbull, pizza, coffee and Pan-D capsules.
Spent about 60% of that time in a conference room entirely with the other side lawyers. Actually became really good friends with my counter-part.
Yelled (literally) at my partner for trying to go home at 10.30 PM while we were taking a break during negotiation.
Drafted an absolutely insane earn-out clause at about 3.30-4 AM in the morning which to this day maybe my best work.
Was insane but so SO satisfying. Wish all deals closed that quickly. Also got a vacation of about 3 weeks for closing the deal that quickly and with that many things moving.
