McDermott Will & Emery LLP
Client SatisfactionMcDermott Will & Emery LLP has made its mark in SPAC IPOs and de-SPAC deals over recent years and has demonstrated further expertise in mainstream IPOs, follow-on offerings, private placements and at-the-market programs. Much of its equity offerings work has centred on the healthcare, fintech and technology industries of late; the firm is a market leader in the healthcare sector. Washington DC partner Thomas Conaghan co-heads the capital markets and public companies group alongside Eric Orsic in Chicago. The team was further reinforced by the recruitment of Howard Kleinman from Dechert LLP in 2023, while former head of the SPAC group Ari Edelman left the firm in March 2024.
