Lawyer Rankings

United States > M&A/corporate and commercial > M&A: middle-market (sub-$500m)

Ballard Spahr LLP handles a significant volume of middle-market M&A on behalf of both companies and private equity clients. Well weighted between buyer and seller-side mandates, the group handles deals in all key industry sectors, with a focus on the life sciences, TMT, manufacturing, financial services, energy, and consumer products industries. The M&A practice is led jointly by Philadelphia-based Brian Doerner and Minneapolis-based Barbara Rummel, both of whom are particularly recognized for their expertise in life sciences-related transactions. Nathan Seiler splits his time between Denver and Boulder and chairs the business and transactions department, where he specializes in advising high-growth companies on corporate matters. Other recommended names in Minneapolis include private equity specialist Maggie Tatton and Michael Kuhn, who acts for both companies and private equity funds. The national team also draws on Phoenix-based senior counsel Karen McConnell, who is a seasoned veteran in corporate and securities work, and Philadelphia’s Gregory Seltzer, whose practice spans M&A, venture capital and start-up matters.
