TRUSTED M&A COUNSEL FOR SOPHISTICATED PE FUNDSAs a Corporate partner at Morrison Cohen LLP, my practice centers on executing middle-market acquisitions, divestitures and mergers for private equity funds and their portfolio companies. An integral part of this focus includes equity-related transactions at all stages of the business cycle: from initial start-up and seed rounds to growth capital investments, institutional financings, and successful exits. EXPERTISE: MIDDLE-MARKET ROLL-UPS AND ADD-ONSThroughout my career, I’ve counseled some of the most renowned PE funds and their platforms on effecting roll-up strategies in the middle and lower-middle market, where each deal tends to be unique and requires nuanced, practical guidance. My goal is to find for every client the right dealmaking balance between negotiated business terms and essential legal protections. I’ve served as lead M&A counsel on add-on acquisition programs for dozens of PE-backed portfolio companies as well as eventual liquidity events for funds and their LPs. NEGOTIATING AND NAVIGATING LLCS AND PARTNERSHIPSI have drafted and negotiated hundreds of operating agreements, partnership agreements and shareholders’ agreements, from simple joint ventures to highly customized strategic business arrangements. I also regularly help clients navigate difficulties and disputes in their existing partnerships.FOCUSED ON THE DETAILS THAT MATTERAs transactions become more complex, a principal challenge my clients face is finding common ground despite long lists of open terms, big and small. My role is always to protect clients on all “mission critical” issues, making sure every deal is done right and on schedule. DELIVERING EFFICIENT RESULTSAs a Firm, we know that the success of a deal is ultimately measured not only on its final terms, but on the time and expense it takes to get there. I take personal pride in consistently delivering the efficient and cost-effective results that my clients demand.
