Cooley adds Pitrelli in Singapore from Goldman Sachs
As executive director and senior counsel in Goldman's investment banking division, Tim Pitrelli joins Cooley as a partner.
Having joined the US firm as its first capital markets partner in the city-state, Tim Pitrelli brings experience in IPOs, follow-on offerings and other regional and international cross-border transactions and in depth knowledge of the Singapore and Southeast Asia markets.
Dave Peinsipp, co-chair of Cooley's global capital markets practice, said that Tim is a highly appreciated lawyer and a well-informed capital markets practitioner across equity offerings. He added that his experience at Goldman could prove priceless for our issuer clients in addition to polishing our investment banking know-how.
Focusing on complex transactions Pitrelli practice involves issuers with operations throughout Asia and in the US, UK and EU. Before joining Goldman in 2013, he was assistant general counsel at Bank of America in Singapore for three years and an associate at Latham & Watkins for six years, where he practiced in New York, California and Singapore.
Pitrelli is looking forward to joining Cooley's Asia capital markets practice. "I was attracted to Cooley because of the chance to join a team at a firm whose platform is designed to represent leading companies with disruptive technologies."
In the beginning of 2020, Pitrelli has become Cooley's fourth partner in its office in Singapore. With the addition of local Gunderson Dettmer corporate partner Ferish Patel and the relocation of Matthew Bartus, co-chair of its global emerging companies practice from Silicon Valley, the firm was launched. The firm was launched to serve as the office's first resident partner. Sean Murphy joined the firm a year later from Shearman & Sterling as fund formation partner.
In April 2021, Cooley has also expanded its capital markets offering in the US by appointing White & Case's partner Rupa Briggs as well as Fenwick & West's counsel Nicolas Dumont as partners in New York. According to Refinitiv, the hires coincided with a boom in public offerings, particularly through Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPACs) issuance, with more SPACs going public by the second week of March 2021 than in all of 2020.
Likewise, in May 2021, capital markets partners Christina Roupas and Courtney Tygesson were among nine attorneys who Cooley hired from Latham & Watkins, DLA Piper and Winston & Strawn to open an office in Chicago to knock the growing venture capital scene and tech and life sciences industries of the Midwest.
