McGuireWoods LLP is deeply involved in the middle-market and handles a diverse range of private equity transactions for investors, sponsors, family offices, and portfolio companies. Despite having a particular specialism in healthcare, spearheaded by Chicago-based co-head Geoffrey Cockrell , the practice has a broad industry focus which spans from technology and IP to tax and real estate. Thomas Zahn is also a leading figure in Pittsburgh, regularly representing funds on add-on acquisitions, leveraged buyouts and minority investments. In Dallas, Jon Finger brings extensive knowledge of the pharmaceutical, tech, and financial industries, while Gregory Hawver handles a steady stream of M&A, recapitalizations and joint ventures from Chicago.
