Morgan Lewis Adds Three-Partner Corporate M&A and Private Equity Team in Boston

Morgan Lewis has strengthened its corporate and private equity practices with the addition of Shannon Zollo, Joshua French, and Meghan Kelly, who join the firm’s Boston office from Nutter, McClennen & Fish, where Shannon led the M&A and private equity practice.

The trio brings extensive experience advising on M&A, debt and equity financings, venture capital transactions, and corporate governance matters across a broad spectrum of industries, including life sciences, healthcare, technology, manufacturing, consumer retail, and defense. They also bring strong relationships with investment banks and Boston-based businesses, having worked on multiple transactions together.

Commenting on the appointments, Firm Chair Jami McKeon said,

“Businesses and private equity sponsors navigating the intensifying deal landscape in today’s economy are faced with both significant challenges and remarkable opportunities that demand agility and strategic foresight, which is why they turn to Morgan Lewis. The addition of Shannon, Josh, and Meghan enhances the firm’s global M&A and private equity platforms, which have already seen exciting growth with our significant expansion in Paris earlier this year and in related practices across business centers around the globe.”

Christina Melendi (Leader of the Corporate and Business Transactions Practice) said,

“Shannon, Josh, and Meghan add strength and depth to our M&A and private equity practices as we continue our strategy to further build upon our regional and global capabilities. The team brings an extensive deal list representing private companies across many industry sectors and, just as important, they share our collaborative and entrepreneurial approach to client service. We are thrilled to welcome them to the firm.”

Morgan Lewis’s M&A and private equity practices are recognized by Chambers and The Legal 500, and consistently ranked in Refinitiv, Mergermarket, and FactSet league tables. With more than 32 offices across the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, the firm advises on complex cross-border transactions and supports clients across the full spectrum of corporate and transactional issues.

This addition follows other recent lateral hires in Morgan Lewis’s Boston office, including cybersecurity and privacy partner Heather Egan and tax partner Tamara Shepard, formerly with the US Department of Justice.
