Drawing upon strong multi-jurisdictional capabilities- predominantly with Europe- the WilmerHale team is ‘calm under pressure’ when handling IPOs, follow-on public offerings, and complex SPAC transactions. Representing both issuers and managers, the practice shows a special focus on the medtech and medical industries, with the New York-based duo of Brian Johnson and Lisa Firenze leading the outfit. In Boston, Stuart Falber regularly counsels mature public companies and investment banks, and Molly Fox is a corporate finance expert, while Craig Hilts is knowledgeable on convertible debt offerings. Also in Boston, Cynthia Mazareas and Caroline Dotolo are also noted as key.
