Morgan Lewis Welcomes Nutter’s M&A and Private Equity Group Leaders to Boston
Morgan Lewis is welcoming a three-partner team from Nutter, McClennen & Fish into its Boston office, further strengthening its M&A and private equity practices.
Shannon Zollo, who previously chaired Nutter’s M&A and private equity group, joins with longtime colleagues Joshua French and Meghan Kelly.
Firm chair Jami McKeon emphasized the significance of the move:
“Businesses and private equity sponsors navigating the intensifying deal landscape in today’s economy are faced with both significant challenges and remarkable opportunities that demand agility and strategic foresight, which is why they turn to Morgan Lewis.”
"The addition of Shannon, Josh, and Meghan enhances the firm’s global M&A and private equity platforms, which have already seen exciting growth with our significant expansion in Paris earlier this year and in related practices across business centers around the globe.”
Zollo, French, and Kelly bring a long history of collaboration. Their work spans mergers and acquisitions, financings, venture capital, and governance matters for clients across industries such as life sciences, healthcare, technology, consumer products, and manufacturing.
The team is also known for its close ties to Boston’s investment banking community.
Christina Melendi, leader of Morgan Lewis’s corporate and business transactions practice, noted:
“The team brings an extensive deal list representing private companies across many industry sectors and, just as important, they share our collaborative and entrepreneurial approach to client service. We are thrilled to welcome them to the firm.”
Morgan Lewis continues to grow its corporate and transactional practices worldwide. Its M&A and private equity platforms are consistently ranked by Chambers, The Legal 500, and deal trackers including Refinitiv and Mergermarket.
The Boston office has also welcomed recent laterals including Heather Egan in cybersecurity and privacy, and Tamara Shepard, who previously served in the US Department of Justice’s Tax Division.
