United States > M&A/corporate and commercial > Private equity buyouts: large deals ($500m+)
Ropes & Gray LLP offers a fully integrated private equity practice, combining a commanding presence both across the US and globally, with a deeply experienced bench capable of handling the most complex and high-value transactions. The outstanding breadth of work is reflected in the scale of headline deals concerning regulatory-heavy situations, complex structurings and and unique financing terms, as well as a particular strength in middle-market transactions. David Blittner leads the team, following the departure of former co-head Amanda Morrison in August 2022. Blittner regularly steers clients through complex leveraged buyouts, minority investments and public recapitalizations, which has led to him becoming a trusted advisor to major market players such as Avista Capital. Carolyn Vardi has advised on numerous large acquisitions across a broad range of industries including financial services, software and health care. In Chicago, Neill Jakobe ’s practice focuses on PE buyouts and strategic M&A, while San Francisco-based Minh-Chau Le represented Genstar Capital in the sale of a majority stake in Advarra to Blackstone and CPPIB.
