The Cooley LLP team specializes in handling high-value transactions in the life sciences, tech, and media industries, displaying a special focus on buy-side M&A and strategic exits. The practice routinely advises domestic and international clients on cross-border stock and cash acquisitions, with the San Diego-based co-head Barbara Borden being an expert in complex joint ventures, restructurings and activism matters. The other co-head, Jamie Leigh, operates out of San Francisco and regularly assists boards and special committees with strategic issues, and Ben Beerle routinely acts on behalf of multinational tech corporations. Steven Tonsfeldt focuses on the software and pharmaceutical spaces from Palo Alto, and the ‘outstanding’ New York-based Bill Roegge is knowledgeable on cross-border private and public M&A.
