Under the guidance of Guy Coltman, Carey Olsen’s corporate team is a strong choice for all manner of transactions, including public and private M&A, and is also well versed in overseeing restructuring mandates. Coltman himself handles both public M&A and private equity transactions, while also working alongside the firm’s disputes team when shareholder disputes or proxy contests arise. James Willmott combines transactional experience with expertise in issues affecting start-ups, joint ventures and restructuring matters, while David Taylor handles the full spectrum of corporate transactions. Katherine Tresca, who joined the partnership in July 2025, handles the gamut of corporate transactions, in addition to assisting clients with day-to-day operational matters.
