Global law firm Goodwin today announced that Robby Stein joined the Private Equity practice as a partner, resident in the New York office.
“The volume of leveraged lending is at an all-time high, and we continue to see a strong pipeline of leveraged buyouts, add-on acquisition financings, and dividend recaps in the year ahead,” said Jennifer Bralower, chair of Goodwin’s Debt Finance practice. “Robby is a market leader in sponsor finance and will play an integral role as we continue to bolster our best-in-class offering for private equity clients, their portfolio companies, and public and private tech and life sciences companies around the world.”
Stein has extensive experience representing private equity sponsors, their portfolio companies, and other public and private companies in connection with acquisition and other debt financings. He regularly advises middle-market borrowers and early-stage companies in connection with the structuring, negotiation, and documentation of domestic and cross-border debt financing matters. Stein assists clients across industries and products, with expertise in senior secured debt, second lien financings, asset-based lending, fund-level financings, and related intercreditor matters. Stein also represents clients in debt restructurings, workouts, and general corporate finance matters.
Goodwin has continued to invest in its premier, global Private Equity practice in the last 18 months with the arrival of more than 20 partners in New York, Washington, D.C., Frankfurt, London, and Hong Kong. Goodwin has more than 360 private equity lawyers globally.
