Debevoise Adds Private Equity M&A Partners Neal J. Reenan and Ian Bushner
Debevoise & Plimpton has expanded its private capital platform by adding partners Neal J. Reenan and Ian Bushner to the firm’s New York-based Mergers & Acquisitions Group. Their hiring is part of a broader strategy to strengthen Debevoise's capabilities in advising private equity firms on complex transactions, including buyouts, take-privates, acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, minority investments, strategic investments, and spin-offs across multiple industries. Reenan and Bushner previously led the private capital practice at another international law firm. Their addition enhances Debevoise's already strong M&A team, which has recently welcomed several other partners in this space. The firm now leads New York for lawyers recognized by Chambers in Private Equity: Buyouts. Presiding Partner Peter Furci emphasized their reputation and experience as key assets to the firm’s growing private capital offering. The move reflects increasing demand across the private equity sector, particularly for larger and more complex transactions. Debevoise aims to leverage Reenan's and Bushner's long-standing collaboration and deep relationships with sponsors to further strengthen its client offerings.
