Global law firm Goodwin announced today that Joshua Soszynski has joined the firm’s New York office as partner in its Private Equity group. The firm also announced today the appointment of private equity partner Gregor Klenk to its Frankfurt office.

Soszynski has experience representing clients on an array of domestic and cross-border transactional matters, with particular expertise in the private equity space. He has advised clients on both public and private company acquisitions, divestitures, growth capital investments, joint ventures, debt and equity financings, corporate restructurings and workouts. His experience spans a variety of industries, including healthcare, technology, media, consumer products, manufacturing, financial services, logistics/transportation services, and retail.

“We have built a market-leading practice that advises the innovators and the investors in private equity, technology, healthcare and life sciences,” said A.J. Weidhaas, Co-Chair of Goodwin’s Private Equity practice. “Josh’s diverse expertise, especially counseling on complex multinational and multi-jurisdictional deals within these sectors, is a perfect fit for our platform. We are delighted to welcome him to Goodwin.”

I look forward to helping the firm build on its tremendous success.”
