Proskauer Rose LLP‘s team benefits from firmwide strengths in fund formation, growth investment, and venture capital matters, allowing the practice to handle a wide variety of private equity-linked transactions. Key areas of focus for the team include fund mergers and de-mergers, such as abrdn’s recent sale of its US private equity and venture capital business to HighVista Strategies, sponsor-backed joint ventures and strategic partnerships in growth areas such as the sports and media sectors, and high-profile exits across a diverse range of industries. Practice heads Daniel Ganitsky, Lauren Boglivi, and Michael Ellis jointly lead the team from New York, with Ganitsky and Ellis handling a wide variety of public and private M&A, restructuring, and corporate governance matters, while Boglivi focuses on private equity-backed transactions in the sports and entertainment sectors. In Los Angeles, leveraged buyout experts Kristian Herrmann  and Christopher Ahn are highly recommended, while structured private capital expert Steven Peck is a key contact in the Boston office.
