Dean D. Willer

I represent closely held businesses and middle market private equity funds and portfolio companies in a range of industries, often who are acquiring, selling, recapitalizing or reorganizing their businesses, bringing both legal and business capabilities to the transactions. When confronting issues in acquisitions, I aim toward developing creative and constructive, multiple-disciplinary solutions and working collaboratively with opposing parties to resolve problems and advance the transactions. Prior to joining Winthrop, I worked as a financial analyst with Intel Corporation and as a mergers and acquisitions specialist at an investment banking firm, focusing on the valuation, sale and financing of middle-market businesses.

Within my general corporate work I provide assistance and navigation to start-up entrepreneurs and rapidly growing companies in the areas of entity formation, general corporate services, business counseling assistance and fund raising. It is so gratifying having the opportunity to play a role in someone’s dream and helping them nurture it into a revenue-generating company. It makes every bit of hard work worth it.
