ArentFox Schiff expanded its corporate and securities practice with the addition of counsel Gabriela E. Palmieri. After serving nearly a decade as the exclusive New York general counsel to a global, ultra-high-net worth family office and its U.S. private companies, Gabriela will counsel clients at ArentFox Schiff on complex joint venture, private equity, venture capital, and real estate investments, as well as on the corporate governance of private companies.
Palmieri represents U.S. and non-U.S. high net worth individuals, family offices and private companies in domestic, cross-border and multi-jurisdictional investments and transactions. Understanding the intricate relationship that exists between an individual or family and its businesses, Palmieri provides cohesive advice that goes beyond a single transaction and balances her clients’ business and personal goals.
Palmieri is a proud Latina, fluent in Spanish and committed to working with the Latin American community living or investing in the United States. Palmieri started her legal career at a global law firm in Caracas, Venezuela.
“We are thrilled to welcome Gabriela to the firm during this period of growth for ArentFox Schiff,” David P. McHugh, corporate and securities co-leader at ArentFox, said. “While all signs initially pointed to a hot M&A market in 2022, only time will tell what sort of lasting impact the Ukraine-Russia conflict will have on the global economy. And, as we know, family offices often look to the economy and markets to inform their investment decisions. Either way, Gabriela will provide strategic and holistic counsel to help her clients weather this period of uncertainty while still achieving their business goals.”
