About
Denise M. Tormey, a shareholder at Vedder in New York, helps clients buy and sell businesses and raise capital.

Her M&A work includes purchases of assets out of Chapter 11, deals involving intellectual property or a regulated business, sellers who roll equity or take an earnout, and the handover after closing, along with the governance, compliance, and disclosure questions those deals raise.
