Goodwin is an impressive firm in the international arena, which has bolstered its excellent reputation in the USA by expanding its global platform. Primarily highlighted for its appeal to growth companies and private equity investors with international businesses, the firm's attractive combination of well-regarded experience in cross-border corporate M&A and buyout transactions is coupled with its strong industry focus and expertise related to the life sciences and new technology spaces.
It is sought after by international clients in need of European expertise across the venture capital and private equity fund formation space, and this practice is bolstered by its industry expertise in high-growth sectors and the real estate investment market.
