For 15th consecutive year, firm earns top score of 100 on Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s annual scorecard for LGBTQ workplace equality.

As the pandemic and favorable market conditions drove record M&A and private equity dealmaking in 2021, Mintz’s Private Equity Practice handled a number of complex and impactful middle-market transactions for a growing number of private equity funds across the country spanning a variety of industries, including Charlesbank Capital Partners, DW Healthcare Partners, and Monomoy Capital Partners. In addition, the firm added several practitioners with extensive transactional knowledge to its deep bench to support private equity clients.

Mintz achieved a significant victory for BTA Bank (BTA) on January 18, when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed summary judgment dismissing all claims against BTA in a nearly decade-long securities fraud lawsuit alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This decisive issue of what loss causation evidence a holder of thinly-traded securities must present to prove such claims was a matter of first impression in the Second Circuit.

In an article published by The Wall Street Journal, Mintz Member and Founding Chair of the firm’s Immigration Practice Susan Cohen discussed how U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services can’t access millions of a-files because they are stored by a separate agency, the National Archives and Records Administration, which has largely closed its storage centers due to COVID-19.
