Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP has expanded its Private Equity Practice with the addition of Robert Graham as a shareholder in its Chicago office. He joins the firm from Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP.
Graham brings significant experience in representing private equity firms, independent sponsors, investment and venture capital firms, and privately held companies in complex domestic and cross-border transactions. He works with clients across diverse industries, providing strategic guidance on mergers and acquisitions, growth investments, and other corporate transactions. His experience spans leveraged buyouts, growth equity investments, minority and majority recapitalizations, joint ventures, strategic alliances, add-on acquisitions, carve-out transactions, restructurings, and distressed M&A. Graham also counsels clients on corporate governance and general corporate matters, helping businesses navigate critical legal and operational challenges.
“We are thrilled to welcome Robert to the firm. He brings significant transactional experience and a proven track record of advising private equity sponsors and companies on their complex and strategic transactional matters,” said Peter H. Lieberman, co-chair of the firm’s Private Equity Practice. “His addition reflects our continued commitment to expanding the breadth and depth of our Private Equity Practice, both in Chicago and nationally.”
“I was drawn to Greenberg Traurig’s collaborative culture and strong reputation in the market,” said Graham. “The firm’s global reach and deep bench of talent provide an exceptional platform to deliver creative strategies for clients navigating complex transactions.”
Graham earned his B.B.A. from the University of Notre Dame and his J.D., with honors, from the University of Notre Dame Law School.
