Barnes & Thornburg Adds Marcantonio Barnes to M&A Group in Washington, D.C.

Barnes & Thornburg has added Marcantonio W. Barnes as a partner in its Washington, D.C. office, where he will lead the development of the D.C. Corporate practice group, while advising clients on mergers and acquisitions, technology transactions, and federal contracts.

Barnes primarily focuses on helping clients execute their business strategies. His transactional work commonly involves the acquisition and sale of things – whether it is a company, product or service.

The diversity and success of those relationships also reflect his passion for working with clients to ensure that shared values with respect to diversity and inclusion are reflected throughout the course of the representation.
