Jay Schifferli has joined law firm Goodwin Procter as a partner in its Private Equity Group in Washington, DC.
Schifferli comes to Goodwin from Kelley Drye & Warren, where he was chair of that firm’s private equity practice.
Schifferli focuses his practice on private equity; mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures; public and private securities offerings and compliance; and general corporate, securities and business matters.
He advises private equity funds and public and private companies across an array of areas including stock and asset acquisitions and divestitures, tender offers, exchange offers, “going private” transactions and related financings. He also represents public companies and investor groups in compliance with SEC disclosure and reporting obligations and corporate governance matters.
“We are delighted to welcome an attorney of Jay’s experience and his Mid-Atlantic area market knowledge,” says John LeClaire, co-chair of Goodwin’s Private Equity Group. “His skills and relationships fit perfectly with our growing private equity practice in DC, and he will play an important role in our growth in these markets and beyond.”
