Clients of Wiggin and Dana LLP praise its combination of ‘large-firm resources and capabilities with small-firm client attention’. This is exemplified by its wiggin(x) offering, a standalone division within the firm designed to provide specialist multidisciplinary advice to emerging companies and investors. The national practice is led jointly by New York-based Len Gray and Stamford-based Jack Sousa, both of whom specialize in representing growth companies, venture capital funds, and private equity clients in corporate, finance, and securities matters. In New Haven, Evan Kipperman handles a steady stream of financing rounds for both growth-stage companies and investors, while Adam Silverman is also noted for his ’exceptional service’.
