Boston, MA - June 16, 2008

In its recently-launched 2008 U.S. guide, Legal 500 has recognized Foley Hoag’s M&A practice in the areas of Venture Capital/Emerging Companies and also as a top general M&A firm in the northeast. Partners Arlene Bender, Bill Kolb, Nicola Lemay and Peter Rosenblum are cited for particular strengths in their practices including IT, life sciences, and renewable energy.

The firm is described as “. . . particularly strong in the life sciences and technology industries, where it has acted on some impressive mid-market roles,” and with “. . . an international outlook, which is somewhat surprising for a Boston firm of its size.” In addition, partners were lauded by clients for having “. . .a rare blend of academic rigor and business savvy” in addition to being “ . . . a deal-making, rather a deal-breaking firm.”
