Choate, Hall & Stewart‘s Boston-based practice counts middle-market private equity and venture capital funds as well as public and private target companies in its client roster and is noted for its ability to act on both sides of growth investment transactions. Integrated expertise in healthcare and tech allows the team to guide sector-focused sponsors through all stages of their investments, while the ability to draw on internal tax and employment capabilities enables it to also handle complex mergers and joint acquisitions. Growth equity investment and leveraged buyout expert T.J. Murphy co-heads the practice together with Lee Feldman and venture capital specialist Sarah Camougis. Brian Lenihan’s private equity expertise encompasses both M&A and financing transactions, while Daniel Riley’s workload spans buyouts, growth equity deals, and capital markets matters.
