Perkins Coie Adds Joydeep Dasmunshi to Chicago Office M&A Practice
Joydeep Dasmunshi has joined Perkins Coie’s Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) practice as a partner in the Chicago office.
The firm said Dasmunshi advises private equity firms, along with public and private corporate clients, on complex business transactions. His practice focuses on middle-market M&A as well as matters related to structuring and negotiating strategic and leveraged acquisitions and divestitures, executive compensation and incentive equity matters, recapitalizations and general compliance counseling.
Dasmunshi’s transactional achievements include a $4.25 billion airline acquisition; a $1.75 billion sale of a global valuation, corporate finance and governance-related advisor company to a private equity firm in 2017; and sale, investment and acquisition matters with various middle-market portfolio companies across a variety of sectors, including technology, media, financial services and healthcare.
The firm said the addition of Dasmunshi to the Chicago office follows the arrival of Construction Partner Kevin Kolton this month and Insurance Recovery Partner Jim Davis to the office in May. To accommodate Perkins Coie’s continued growth in the Chicago area, the firm will move to a larger, more collaborative office space at 110 N. Wacker Drive in 2021.
Dasmunshi joins the firm from Kirkland & Ellis in Chicago, where he was a corporate partner. He earned his J.D., cum laude, from the University of Michigan Law School and his B.B.A., with High Distinction, from the University of Michigan Stephen M. Ross School of Business.
