Akerman LLP, a top 100 U.S. law firm serving clients across the Americas, furthered its national M&A and Private Equity Practice with experienced corporate partner Ted Rosen in New York. Involved in complex transactions for more than three decades, Rosen joins the Corporate Practice Group from Fox Rothschild, where he served as administrative partner for the New York Corporate and Public Companies Practices and as co-chair of the Private Equity Practice Group. Rosen advances Akerman’s longstanding capabilities dedicated to mergers and acquisitions, private equity funds, international transactions and venture capital transactions.

“Ted is highly regarded for his consummate ability to meet client objectives in complex transactions and he adds tremendous strength to our national M&A and Private Equity team,” said Carl Roston, co-chair of Akerman’s Corporate Practice Group. “With 30-plus years of experience as a sophisticated deal lawyer, Ted furthers our national commitment to the middle market and enhances our ability to serve clients nationwide,” said Jonathan Awner, co-chair of Akerman’s Corporate Practice Group.

Rosen counsels large, established, and emerging growth companies and private equity funds in mergers, management buyouts, recapitalizations, roll-ups, and growth strategies, as well as in matters related to structuring, organization, governance, financing, employment and compensation. He also advises clients on the development, protection, licensing, and distribution of their products, technologies and services.

He has also represented public companies in SEC reporting and compliance matters, private and public companies in registered and unregistered equity and debt financing transactions, public and private targets and acquirers in mergers and acquisitions, and, public companies in corporate governance and related matters, including initial and continued listing matters.

Rosen represents the newest addition to the national Corporate Practice Group and the firm’s New York team. Akerman’s second largest office, it has grown to more than 100 lawyers in the last two years. Since January, the office also has welcomed Robert Stein from Kirkland & Ellis as co-chair of the firm's Corporate Finance and Lending Practice. Together, Rosen and Stein expand Akerman’s transactional strengths for clients across the nation’s foremost business centers.
