Lawyer Rankings
United States > Finance > Capital markets: equity offerings
Goodwin has achieved high levels of activity in recent years, including in large-cap and mid-cap equity offerings. The capital markets team is known for its expertise in biotechnology and life sciences, especially buoyant sectors from a volume of offerings perspective. Healthcare, real estate and tech are also key sectors. Even with a slowdown in IPOs in the second half of 2022, the capital markets team was able to turn its sights to PIPEs, private placements and ATM offerings. Along with its extensive issuer client base, the firm has strong links to underwriters. In New York, Edwin O’Connor is co-chair of the capital markets team and is a member of the life sciences group, while Siavosh Salimi is noted for both life sciences and tech deals. Silicon Valley partner Bradley Weber is co-chair of the group and is a key figure in tech IPOs and other equity offerings. Boston’s Joseph Theis is also rated.
