Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP

Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP‘s ’extremely hands-on, responsive, and attentive‘ private equity team benefits from a firmwide focus on M&A in regulated industries such as government contracting, aerospace, infrastructure, and tech, which enables it to advise both innovative target companies and specialist funds on growth equity transactions, venture capital-backed financing rounds, and leveraged buyouts. New York lawyers Stephen Amdur and Jarrod Murphy both serve as key contacts for public and private M&A in sectors such as infrastructure, sports, and life sciences and jointly co-head the group together with Allison Leopold Tilley, who handles tech transactions from the San Francisco office. Matthew Swartz and Nicole Islinger are based in Northern Virgnia and are well-disposed to advise on defense and government contracting matters, frequently guiding middle-market funds through platform transactions in this space. Also in Northern Virginia, Steven Kaplan is a key contact for early-stage capital raises and growth investments.
