About
Emily M. Covey is an associate at Day Pitney LLP whose practice centers on entrepreneurship through acquisition. Search funds backed by investors or lenders, searchers funding their own search, and independent sponsors rely on her from setting up the acquisition entity through financing, closing, ownership, and the later sale of the company. She also works on mergers and acquisitions for privately held and family-owned businesses in technology and software, manufacturing, professional services, banking, warehousing, and food and beverage distribution. She earned her J.D. from the University of Connecticut School of Law in 2021.
