This includes working with venture backed private and public companies through a range of transactions including equity financing, IPOs, M&A and corporate governance.
Goodwin represents leading public and private life sciences companies across their entire life cycles including financings, capital market transactions, mergers and acquisitions, collaborations and licensing, intellectual property and regulatory matters.
