Mr Daniel Ganitsky
Work Department
Latin America
Position
Daniel Ganitsky is co-head of Proskauer’s global Private Equity and M&A Group and a member of the Latin America Practice Group. Over the course of his career, Daniel has had significant roles in numerous public company transactions, acquisitions of private companies or businesses, restructurings, proxy contests and financial advisor representations. Since joining Proskauer less than a decade ago, he has worked on over 125 publicly announced transactions with an aggregate value of more than $175 billion.
Since joining Proskauer in the summer of 2010, Daniel has been particularly active in Proskauer’s representation of clients in public company transactions, cross border matters and private equity investments. Daniel was also part of the team that represented the Pac-12 Conference in the creation of Pac-12 Networks, an innovative arrangement providing unprecedented exposure for the conference’s athletic and academic programs.
In addition to his transactional work, Daniel routinely advises corporations, stockholders, directors and officers in connection with SEC reporting obligations and periodic reports (including proxy statements, registration statements, Form 8-Ks, and Schedule 13Ds), formation of entities, board governance, stockholders affairs, SEC no-action letters, “poison pen” letters, shareholder rights plans and other corporate law and securities matters.
Born in Colombia, Daniel is fluent in Spanish and has worked on transactions throughout Latin America with many of the leading law firms and investment banks in the region.

Proskauer Rose LLP’s practice holds venture capital, growth equity and mid-market private equity as core focus areas, handling a steady stream of complex transactions for major PE firms and their portfolio companies including Ares, KKR, and Pacific Lake Partners. The team is highly experienced across a broad range of transactions, most notably buyouts, financings, secondary purchases and sales, and restructurings. The team is led by Boston-based Steven Peck , whose buyout and M&A experience ranges from middle-market to multi-billion dollar transactions across multiple sectors, including healthcare, software and financial services. He is supported from New York by Daniel Ganitsky and Lauren Boglivi , both regularly advising private and public companies, sponsors and family offices in cutting-edge deals.
United States > M&A/corporate and commercial > M&A: large deals ($1bn+)
A popular choice for public and privately-held companies as well as private equity sponsors, Proskauer Rose LLP‘s M&A practice is prolific in both strategic and PE transactions. Especially active in the worlds of media, technology, hospitality, sports, gaming and life sciences, the group is led by three M&A specialists based in the East and West Coast: Lauren Boglivi in New York is a leading figure in the M&A market, frequently advising on consequential deals in the media and entertainment industries; and Daniel Ganitsky in the same office manages a broad workload featuring cross-border M&A, public company transactions and financial advisor representations. Christopher Ahn recently strengthened the corporate offering in Los Angeles; previously the General Counsel of global brand James Perse, he joined the firm in January 2022.
Latin America: International firms > Corporate and M&A
Proskauer Rose LLP’s Latin America-focused corporate and M&A team is primarily located in New York, but draws further support from its sizeable São Paulo office. The team has a history of headline cross-border M&A and private equity transactions in the region, notably in the financial services, energy and natural resources, life sciences, manufacturing and mining sectors. It has close connections to major multinationals, financial sponsors, multi-latinas and family groups in the region. New York partner Carlos Martinez leads the Latin America group and has an extensive history in M&A and corporate transactions, building close connections to a number of major clients in the region. New York’s Daniel Ganitsky is global co-head of the M&A practice, and also has a fine record in cross-border M&A and private equity transactions in Latin America. São Paulo and New York-based Fábio Yamada provides further advisory, transactional and finance experience – particularly in relation to institutional investors, private equity and other alternative asset fund managers. While not solely focused on Latin America, associate Lauren S Kim impresses.
