Seyfarth Shaw has added partner Eric Simonson to the firm’s Corporate department in New York.
Simonson joins Seyfarth from Blank Rome where he was a corporate partner in the firm’s New York office. While there, he was a member of the mergers and acquisitions, securities, and Asia practice services as well as the emerging companies, private equity and venture capital industries, among others.
For more than 25 years, Simonson’s practice has focused on a broad range of corporate services including mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures, corporate finance, securities matters, technology transactions, and capital raising activities. He has advised clients in a large variety of industries such as telecommunications, biotechnology, consumer products, healthcare, and media.
“Eric's experience and reputation in private equity and M&A transactions are exceptional,” says Paul Mattingly, chair of Seyfarth’s Corporate department. “As private equity continues to see large activity nationally, Eric will flourish as a key member of our private equity team.”
“Eric has a well-established pedigree in middle-market M&A, capital markets and corporate advisory matters,” says John Napoli, co-managing partner of Seyfarth’s New York office. “He has successfully advised a mix of corporations, entrepreneurs and financial professionals and we are excited for him to join our collaborative team in New York.”
