Lauded for its ‘pragmatic approach’, Wiggin and Dana LLP’s M&A practice group handles work such as mergers, stock and asset purchases and equity investments, with public companies, closely-held businesses, and private equity funds among the clients benefitting from the firm’s transactional expertise. The group takes its cues from the firm’s Stamford office, with leadership duties divided between Mark Kaduboski and William Perrone. The former is well-versed in the intricacies of cross-border transactions, while the latter frequently takes the lead on venture capital investments and financings. Deals in the manufacturing, educational technology and consumer products sectors are chiefly the responsibility of New Haven-based Evan Kipperman.
