Neal J. Reenan

关于 Neal J. Reenan

Drawing on more than two decades of experience, Neal advises private equity firms and their portfolio companies on their most complex domestic and cross-border transactions, including mergers and acquisitions (including acquisitions of distressed companies and take-privates), divestitures, leveraged buyouts, joint ventures, recapitalizations and restructuring transactions.

A former accountant, strategy consultant and manufacturing executive, as well as the co-founder of a significant, private equity-focused office of a leading global law firm, Neal brings a pragmatic operator’s perspective to delivering legal counsel. He provides the clients he serves with creative, “can-do” and commercially calibrated advice with a focus on solving thorny problems to help get deals done. Neal builds enduring, trust-based relationships with clients by delivering technically sound, commercially balanced and situation-tailored counsel by always putting his clients’ needs first, and by bringing a sense of humor and perspective to even the most challenging matters.

Neal also devotes significant time to mentoring junior lawyers, especially those who, like himself, are the first in their families to grow up or live in the United States or who are first-generation lawyers.
