Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. leverages the interdisciplinary knowledge at the firm to handle employment agreements, retention plans and transition services agreements as well as core corporate issues in connection with all types of M&A. The practice is headed up by a trio of Boston-based partners, Michael Fantozzi, Dean Zioze, and Matthew Tikonoff, along with Stephen Gulotta, who is based in the firm’s New York office. Fantozzi focuses on strategic deals and public offerings, Zioze is equipped to advise on issues including complex earn-out arrangements and management buyouts, and Tikonoff's diverse caseload includes carve-outs and private equity deals. Structuring and negotiating transactions for financial services clients stands out as an area of activity in Gulotta’s diverse portfolio of work. Also in New York, Joseph Ronca is a reference for clients in the technology sector. Boston lawyer Larry Naughton‘s practice extends to pre-acquisition work, including company reorganizations and corporate cleanups.
