Client Testimonial

"Simply put: Gerry DiFiore is among the finest corporate lawyers in the country. My perspective on Gerry's talents comes from working on Wall Street for over 20 years, including many years in bulge bracket firms and as head of US Mergers and Acquisitions at a major investment bank. In this regard, I believe Gerry is the best M&A lawyer with whom I have ever worked. In addition, he has such an incredible breadth of knowledge in a wide variety of corporate and finance related areas that we and our Board consulted with him on virtually every aspect of our business including governance, capital raising, regulatory, banking, and personnel, among others. He is also an outstanding negotiator, incredibly hands-on in all aspects of a deal, always available whenever you need him, and a tremendous amount of fun to work with. I consider Gerry a key member of our team and a critical part of our success in the future. He will continue to be our first call for both legal expertise and sound business judgment. It is also important to note Gerry’s exceptional character which is obvious to all who work with him – and across from him -- and which permeates every aspect of his professional and personal life. Gerry's talents, intellect, character and humor win the loyalty of his clients and the deep respect of everyone on a deal, regardless of which side they may be on. Gerry is truly a unique individual in all respects and it is both an honor and a sincere privilege to call him a friend and colleague." – Founder and Managing Partner of a Private Equity Investment Firm
