McDermott Will & Emery LLP

The M&A practice at McDermott Will & Emery LLP stands out for its involvement in complex and high-profile transactions, often involving a cross-border element in Asia and Europe. Advising a range of multinationals and media and entertainment houses, the group has niche expertise in the healthcare and tech sectors and often draws support from its banking and finance and tax disciplines. The team is co-led by Atlanta-based Sam Snider, who concentrates on food and beverage M&A, corporate joint ventures, and minority investments, and New York’s Todd Finger, who handles stock and asset purchases and sales, venture capital investments, and recapitalizations. Also in New York is Thomas Conaghan, who focuses on private equity investments and securities work, and Alexei Cowett, a key contact for emerging growth companies in domestic and foreign M&A. From Dallas, Joanna Jung-Erh Lin concentrates on venture financings and transition service agreements within the digital health industry, while Thaddeus Chase advises clients on both buy- and sell-side M&A. In Atlanta, Anne Cox-Johnson assists public and private companies on divestitures, carveouts, and strategic investments.
