Reed Smith LLP continues to maintain an active presence in middle-market private equity transactions, with a roster of blue-chip domestic and international investors, regional sponsors, and sovereign funds relying on the team to guide them through a consistently high volume of platform and add-on acquisitions as well as through impactful sales and divestitures. The team maintains offices across the country benefits from the firm’s integrated sector expertise in entertainment and media matters, which allows it to handle a large number of growth investments in this space. Consumer goods are another area of focus for the team, owing particularly to the expertise of New York lawyer Christopher Sheaffer, who co-leads the team with M&A and recapitalization expert Bradley Schmarak, who is based in Chicago, and New York-based contact Mark Pedretti, who is noted for his cross-border transactions and financing expertise. In Pittsburgh, private equity and venture capital expert Matthew Mohn is a further name to note.
