Routinely tasked with supporting companies and investors, Pryor Cashman LLP assists with the full M&A process, from preparing bids through to negotiations and proxy fights. The firm’s formidable IP and TMT offerings are reflected in its corporate practice, and it is a popular choice to advise on matters involving the media and entertainment, life sciences, and technology industries. From New York, a quartet of partners co-head the team: John Crowe splits his practice between corporate, banking and finance, and media and entertainment law; Ali Panjwani additionally chairs the securities and corporate finance area and advises a panoply of public and private companies, banks, funds, and venture capitalists; Lawrence Spector’s work intersects corporate and finance transactions; and Michael Weinsier is recommended for M&A and private equity.
