About Goodwin Procter LLP
Goodwin Procter LLP is listed here for its Search Funds team, not for the firm as a whole. The team helps entrepreneurs set up a search fund and close its fundraising rounds, then advises them on the acquisition itself, domestic or international. Its lawyers take a practical, team-based approach to search fund M&A, with the aim of getting the searcher's deal closed. The team keeps relationships with the investor base that backs searchers but does not represent those investors, and it has experience working across the table from first-time sellers and their counsel. Once a searcher owns the business, the team helps set performance objectives and plan the exit. When the investment goals are met, it negotiates the merger, sale, or divestiture that completes the search.
Who is a good fit for Goodwin Procter LLP
- Entrepreneurs forming a search fund and raising its capital.
- Searchers ready to acquire a company once fundraising closes.
- Search fund owners ready to negotiate a merger, sale, or divestiture.
