Introduction
My focus
I focus my practice on corporate and securities law, with a particular emphasis on private equity M&A, as well as carve-out transactions, growth and structured equity investments, joint ventures, and other transformative capital events. I have experience advising private equity firms and strategic companies on transactions across various industries, including healthcare, consumer products, technology, and life sciences.
Looking ahead
I anticipate that M&A activity will remain dynamic, with dealmakers navigating a complex landscape marked by fluctuating interest rates, heightened regulatory scrutiny, and evolving market conditions. Private equity firms and strategic buyers are expected to pursue opportunities selectively, prioritizing targets in resilient industries and emphasizing thorough due diligence. Creative deal structures and innovative financing solutions will play a key role as parties seek to address valuation gaps and manage risk in an increasingly competitive environment.
