Dentons

Dentons frequently utilizes its international network to resource cross-border, middle-market deals. The team is further characterized by its expertise in transactions involving regulated industries, such as manufacturing, energy, financial services, and healthcare, while it also leverages a significant private equity offering.

In Kansas City, Mitchell Albert represents buyers, sellers, and private equity clients on acquisitions, investments, and disposals, while Salt Lake City’s Russell Smith specializes in advising private companies, mainly start-ups and emerging companies, on corporate and M&A matters. Other key contacts include Jasper managing partner Bill Kaiser, who co-chairs the national corporate group; St George-based Rick Guerisoli, who is noted for real estate transactions; Birmingham-based healthcare specialist Joseph Ritchey; Pittsburgh’s Mark Stabile, who acts for a mix of private investors and private and public companies; and Jason Stone, who co-leads the national corporate practice from Des Moines.
