Koranda joins Polsinelli at an exciting time. The firm recently moved up seven spots to the Am Law ranking #86, a rise of more than 100 spots in Am Law’s annual firm rankings during the past five years. He credited his move to Polsinelli for its emerging and impressive mergers and acquisitions focus and position in the market.
“I was attracted to Polsinelli’s focus as the country’s national middle market firm,” Koranda said. “The clients I serve and deals we do are middle market oriented, so Polsinelli was a natural fit. I look forward to collaborating with the Corporate and Transactional team.”

He represents private equity, family office backed and strategic buyers and sellers of businesses and produce lines. His experience includes working with clients in a variety of industries, including telecommunications, highly engineered manufacturing, clinical research organizations, healthcare products and services, data centers and environmental testing.
