Leerink Partners Launches Event-Driven Sales and Trading Team
Leerink Partners, a leading healthcare-focused investment bank, has launched an event-driven sales and trading team as part of its Institutional Equities platform. The new team is led by Josh Ezrin, Tom McCaffrey, and Brian Furbush—industry veterans with extensive experience in merger arbitrage, special situations, and institutional client services. This initiative aims to provide differentiated insights for institutional investors while leveraging Leerink's deep healthcare expertise. The addition of the event-driven capabilities complements Leerink’s existing offerings by enhancing its analytical depth across broader equity markets. Ezrin brings over 30 years of experience in building teams focused on market intelligence and idea generation, McCaffrey has more than two decades as a trader and principal market maker, and Furbush contributes over 15 years in equity sales and analysis. The team will collaborate closely with Leerink’s research, capital markets, and investment banking divisions to deliver timely insights and execution for institutional clients. This strategic move is expected to strengthen the firm's position as a trusted partner in both healthcare advisory and broader market strategies.
