Insights and events
Adrienne Ellman focuses on M&A and Private Equity transactions, representing corporate and financial buyers and sellers of public and private companies in domestic and cross-border transactions.
Recognized nationally as a "Leading Lawyer" in M&A by Legal 500 ($1B+ deals) across a wide range of sectors, Adrienne's practice has a particular focus on the life sciences and health care, and technology industries and the overlap between them. Adrienne's transactional work has included experience with mergers, leveraged buyouts, tender offers, going-private transactions, de-SPAC acquisitions, carve-out and spin-off transactions and minority and growth investments.
Adrienne's M&A practice is bolstered by Adrienne's strong experience in corporate governance matters. Adrienne routinely counsels boards and executive officers on their significant transactions, including fiduciary duty issues, and general corporate matters. Adrienne also regularly works with emerging growth companies on general corporate and financing matters.
Prior to joining Hogan Lovells, Adrienne was previously the co-chair of a U.S.-based law firm's M&A and Private Equity Transactions Practices, co-lead of that firm's New York office, and a member of that firm's Diversity Committee. Adrienne also served rotations on that firm's Hiring Committee and Policy and Procedure Against Discrimination and Harassment Committee.
