Greenberg Traurig Strengthens Chicago Private Equity Practice with Shareholders Neal Loughery and Curt Ostosh
"Greenberg Traurig in Chicago has added shareholders Neal Loughery and Curt Ostosh to its Private Equity Practice; Loughery will focus on debt financings, Ostosh on private equity M&A and portfolio company matters."
Cornelius “Neal” Loughery joins Greenberg Traurig as a shareholder in the Private Equity Practice. He represents private equity sponsors, portfolio companies, and lenders in a wide range of financing transactions, including leveraged buyouts, refinancings, and subscription line financings. Early in his career he advised sponsors on acquisitions and dispositions, and he offers an integrated perspective across the private equity financing lifecycle. Loughery joins from Kirkland & Ellis LLP.
Curt Ostosh joins Greenberg Traurig as a shareholder in the Private Equity Practice. He advises private equity sponsors and strategic investors in complex transactions, including leveraged buyouts, minority investments, take-private transactions, and add-on acquisitions, and counsels portfolio companies on strategic growth initiatives and general corporate matters. His prior secondment with a major private equity sponsor, together with experience in corporate development and treasury at a Fortune 100 company, gives him a practical, business-oriented approach. Ostosh joins from Sidley Austin LLP and previously represented private equity sponsors at Ropes & Gray for several years.
The firm said the additions strengthen its ability to deliver seamless, end-to-end support across private equity transactions and build on the continued growth of its private equity bench, following hires such as Francesco A. Castaldi and Robert Graham in Chicago last fall.
