Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP

Mehr Information
Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP expanded its New York-based private equity practice in February 2023 with the arrival of leveraged buyout and take-private expert Peter Feist from Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, allowing the firm to add funds such as OMERS Private Equity to its growing roster of clients. Feist co-leads the team with David Perkins, whose diverse caseload encompasses M&A and joint ventures as well as structured investments and restructurings. The team, which handles high-value buyouts in sectors such as life sciences, insurance, and infrastructure for the likes of Brookfield and Owl Rock, also benefits from the firm’s broad strengths in corporate and public M&A matters, allowing it to handle a wide range of add-on transactions as well as fund and portfolio company mergers. Further key contacts include cross-border M&A expert Richard Hall and corporate expert Matthew Ploszek.
