Dealmaker of the Week: Alexander Dye of Dewey & LeBoeuf

The insurance industry might be coming off of a bad few years — deals in that sector in 2009 were roughly half the number of transactions in 2008 — but don’t tell that to Alexander Dye. The head of Dewey & LeBoeuf’s US M&A group has been busy as ever in recent weeks, handling client MetLife’s $15.5 billion proposed acquisition of AIG’s Alico unit while also seeing through negotiations for client Zenith National Insurance on its sale to Fairfax Financial for $1.4 billion.
