Perkins Coie is pleased to announce that Joydeep Dasmunshi has joined the firm’s Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) practice as a partner in the Chicago office. Joydeep joins the firm from Kirkland & Ellis in Chicago, where he was a corporate partner.
Joydeep advises private equity firms, along with public and private corporate clients, on complex business transactions. His practice focuses on middle-market M&A as well as matters related to structuring and negotiating strategic and leveraged acquisitions and divestitures, executive compensation and incentive equity matters, recapitalizations and general compliance counseling.
“Joydeep’s in-depth experience on transactions and deals serving private equity clients will be a strong asset to our M&A team,” said Jeff Beuche, Chair of Perkins Coie’s Mergers & Acquisitions practice. “His experience and involvement as the primary counsel on significant and complex deals also reinforces our ability to provide top talent to clients nationally and around the world.”
Joydeep’s transactional achievements include a $4.25 billion airline acquisition; a $1.75 billion sale of a global valuation, corporate finance and governance-related advisor company to a private equity firm in 2017; and sale, investment and acquisition matters with various middle-market portfolio companies across a variety of sectors, including technology, media, financial services and healthcare.
“Joydeep is an excellent addition to our expanding Chicago team and will help drive our strategic commitment to further developing our middle-market transactional offering,” said Rick Sevcik, Managing Partner of Perkins Coie’s Chicago office. “In addition to his extensive experience across a number of our clients’ industries, Joydeep’s entrepreneurial and energetic spirit also make him a natural fit for Perkins Coie.”
The addition of Joydeep to the Chicago office follows the arrival of Construction Partner Kevin Kolton this month and Insurance Recovery Partner Jim Davis to the office in May. To accommodate Perkins Coie’s continued growth in the Chicago area, the firm will move to a larger, more collaborative office space at 110 N. Wacker Drive in 2021.
