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.
United States > M&A/corporate and commercial > M&A: middle-market (sub-$500m)
McGuireWoods LLP handles strategically significant deals for both publicly-traded and private companies present in all core economic sectors, demonstrating particular strength in the energy and technology spaces. Though increasingly engaged in billion-dollar and transformative deals, the middle-market remains a sweet spot for the firm, where it handles M&A, joint ventures, asset and stock purchases, as well as corporate governance matters. Michael Woodard in Richmond leads the M&A and energy transactions group, while Thomas Zahn in Pittsburgh chairs the corporate and private equity department. Sitting in the Richmond office, Joanne Katsantonis is counsel of choice for energy companies of all sizes, Patrick De Ridder is particularly skilled in cross-border transactions, and Brian Hager is a trusted advisor to public and private companies in Virginia.
