Wiggin and Dana LLP predominantly advises suppliers of outsourced information technology, business process, and digital transformation services. It frequently acts for the leading India-based and US-headquartered global service providers, as well as industry-leading companies focused on specific service segments such as financial services, big data and healthcare. This vendor-side focus means that its key practitioners are frequently brought in to handle the more complex and innovative transactions, rather than run-of-the-mill deals, whether they involve offshore, near-shore and onshore structures. New Haven-based practice head Mark Heaphy  has built up the firm’s practice, and Tamia Simonis in Stamford has established her reputation as a highly-respected figure outsourcing bar. In Michigan, Ann Arbor-based George Kimball is also highly regarded.
