On the heels of a seven percent gross revenue increase and 15 percent net profit growth the past year, Fox Rothschild LLP has recruited merger and acquisition lawyer James A. Baldwin to its Pittsburgh office as a partner. He joins a firm long renowned in Western Pennsylvania for its representation of corporate clients.
Among Baldwin’s clients have been an energy company in executing an acquisition strategy; private equity and venture capital funds including small business investment companies; and fund sponsors in purchases of a modular building manufacturer and the electronics division of a publicly traded company. He also has represented clients in Europe, Africa and Asia in cross-border investments, acquisitions and privatizations.
Fox Rothschild now has 25 lawyers in Pittsburgh and more than 475 lawyers firmwide in 15 offices coast to coast. The firm is a sponsor of the Pittsburgh Business Times Diamond Awards honoring top local CEOs.
“The ability to attract a corporate transactional practice of James Baldwin’s caliber reflects Fox Rothschild’s diversified service mix and conservative fiscal strength, as proven by our recent financial performance,” said Jay D. Marinstein, a litigator and Fox Rothschild’s managing partner in Pittsburgh. “James will use the firm’s platform to add strength to great strength.”
