Global law firm Goodwin today announced that Cory Lewis and Patrick (“Pat”) Argenio have joined the firm’s global Private Equity practice as a partner and counsel, respectively, in the Boston office.
“Our premier middle market private equity practice has now become even stronger, particularly in the Boston market, with the addition of Cory and Pat,” said Chris Wilson, partner at Goodwin. “Their arrival represents our continued commitment to recruit the very best talent to support middle-market private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies, especially those sponsors that are based in the Boston market.”
Cory advises private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies throughout the investment lifecycle. He counsels clients on structuring, negotiating, and executing complex US and cross-border transactions, including leveraged buyouts, carve-outs, spin-offs, and other strategic M&A transactions.
“Goodwin has built a premier, global private equity platform, with exceptional teams in Boston and many other offices. I’m excited to join a true private equity group that brings deep industry insight, a commercial approach, unique focus and attention and international reach to help sponsors and their portfolio companies execute their most important transactions,” said Cory. “I am thrilled to be working with this tight-knit group of partners and colleagues to deliver the highest level of commercial, execution-minded guidance and attention to existing and new clients of the firm.”
Pat represents private equity sponsors, growth equity investors, and their portfolio companies across a broad range of corporate transactions. He counsels clients on structuring, negotiating, and executing leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, mergers and acquisitions, and growth equity investments, with a particular focus on the software and technology industries.
“With its strength at the intersection of private equity and technology, Goodwin offers an exceptional platform for serving sponsors and growth investors, and I look forward to delivering practical, growth-focused counsel alongside this outstanding team,” Pat added.
Alongside Cory and Pat, associates Gabby Caruselo and Sydney France have also joined Goodwin’s premier private equity team.
With more than 350 lawyers globally focused on private equity, Goodwin advises clients across the full investment lifecycle — from fund formation to leveraged buyouts, growth equity investments, and exits. The firm’s London office plays a critical role in delivering integrated, cross-border solutions to private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies. Goodwin was ranked the number one law firm in LSEG H1 2025 league tables for global M&A by deal count and was named Law Firm of the Year (Transactions) in the 2024 Mergermarket British Private Equity Awards.
