Patrick S. Dorime

Invaluable counsel on our complex acquisition

Our firm recently engaged Patrick Dorime at Ropes & Gray to advise on a multi-jurisdictional acquisition of a portfolio company from a large private equity sponsor. The transaction was fraught with intricate structuring issues and aggressive timelines. From our first meeting, Patrick demonstrated a command of the nuanced mechanics specific to leveraged buyouts that went far beyond textbook knowledge. His advice was not only legally sound but strategically sharp, anticipating counterparty moves and market standards with remarkable clarity. Patrick’s recognition in private equity and M&A law is clearly well-earned. What truly set him apart, however, was his ability to distill complex concepts into actionable guidance for our internal team, ensuring we were aligned at every stage. He managed a demanding diligence process and negotiated key purchase agreement provisions with a tenacity that protected our interests without derailing the deal. The transaction closed successfully, and the post-acquisition integration has been seamless, thanks in large part to the robust framework he helped establish. Patrick’s professionalism, responsiveness, and deep expertise made a critical difference. He is a tremendous asset to Ropes & Gray and an attorney I would recommend without reservation for sophisticated corporate matters.
