Q&A with GI Alliance CLO Cheryl Camin Murray

Cheryl Camin Murray and her legal team at DFW-based GI Alliance helped steer the nation's largest gastroenterology practice through a physician-led buyout in August that valued the company at $2.2 billion. The deal happened a little over a year after Murray, a mother of triplets who built a thriving healthcare practice over more than two decades in private practice, joined GI Alliance as its chief legal officer.

The Texas Lawbook caught up with Murray about the Apollo-backed financing and her move in-house.
