Lawyer Rankings
United States > Finance > Capital markets: debt offerings
Goodwin remains best known for its work in the convertible debt segment, frequently advising issuers from the technology, life sciences and REITs sectors. Although a dominant force in issuer-sider convertible debt transactions, it also has a major presence in underwriter engagements. In convertible note offerings, the capital markets team regularly collaborates with derivatives specialists within the firm. James Barri is co-chair of the capital markets group and has an outstanding record in convertible debt, with Ettore Santucci recognised for REIT sector offerings; both are based in Boston. New York partner John Servidio provides further expertise in convertible debt and derivatives-related structures.
