Daniel Forman joined Ropes & Gray as a partner in the firm’s capital markets practice. Forman’s arrival deepens the firm’s bench of partners who advise corporate issuers, private equity firms and investment banks on securities work.
“Daniel’s deep client experience complements our capital markets practice, recognized as among the best in the world,” Julie Jones, chair at Ropes & Gray, said.
Forman represents issuers, sponsors, investors and underwriters in a broad range of capital markets transactions, including IPOs, secondary equity offerings, debt offerings, tender offers, debt restructurings and private placements, as well as advising on corporate governance, securities law compliance, and general corporate matters.
Forman is a member of the securities regulation committee of the New York City Bar Association and has served as an adjunct professor of law at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, teaching an upper-level contract drafting course and assisting with professional skills development programs.
“Ropes & Gray’s capital markets lawyers had two consecutive years of record-setting activity levels executing some of the most complex transactions in the market. Daniel is known to handle challenging and complex transactions for clients. He will enhance our ability to deliver these results for our clients,” David Djaha, managing partner at Ropes & Gray, said.
“Daniel is a versatile capital markets partner with significant experience leading issuers and underwriters in a broad range of transactions across industry sectors,” Paul Tropp, co-head of the firm’s capital markets practice, said. “He also brings significant experience in the specialty finance market, counseling clients in transactions involving PIPEs, real estate investment trusts, registered direct offerings and business development companies.”
“Ropes & Gray’s award-winning capital markets group is known for market-leading deals,” Forman said. “I’m excited to join a growing practice and collaborate with attorneys in adjacent practices across the firm.”
