Jones Day

Jones Day is well equipped to advise private equity sponsors on domestic and cross-border buyouts and investment transactions, including acquisitions, disposals and portfolio company investments. Typical mandates include sponsor acquisitions, exits and co-investment structures, often requiring coordination across regulatory, financing and tax workstreams. The team is headquartered in the New York office under the joint leadership of Randi Lesnick and Andrew Levine, who is noted for his work advising private equity sponsors on leveraged buyouts and strategic transactions. Jason Grove is another key figure in New York, and operates across buyouts, portfolio investments and exit transactions. Over in Cleveland, Denise Carkhuff and Joseph Hatina are both acitve in buyouts, acquisitions and disposals. Chicago-based Lisa Lathrop is a strong choice for portfolio company investments and exits.
