Global law firm Goodwin announced today that Ali Ramadan joined its Technology practice as a partner in the London office.
Ramadan has broad technology experience spanning the corporate life cycle. In particular, he focuses on venture capital, cross-border M&A and private equity transactions for technology businesses. He is ranked as an “Up and Coming” and as a recommended individual for venture capital in the Chambers and Legal 500 directories. His clients include start-ups, high-growth companies and investors (both institutional and corporate) operating in the technology, fintech, proptech and digital media industries.
“London remains the largest destination for capital invested in Europe,” said Anthony McCusker, Co-Chair of Goodwin’s Technology practice. “As emerging growth companies become increasingly international, we continue to expand our market-leading technology practice globally. Ali is deeply entrenched in London’s tech and venture communities, and his experience working with both innovators and investors is a perfect complement to our Technology practice in the U.K.”
