Seyfarth Shaw LLP announced today the arrival of partner Luke
Iovine to the firm’s corporate department. Iovine joins Seyfarth
from Hogan Lovells where he was a partner in its mergers and
acquisitions team. He is the third partner to join the firm’s New
York corporate department this year.
With over three decades of experience advising public and
private companies and institutional investors on a broad array of
domestic and cross-border acquisitions, dispositions and other
investments, Iovine provides a strategic boost to the firm’s
transactional service offerings for its clients.
“Luke’s stature in New York’s financial market and his real
estate prowess and expertise in Latin American cross-border
transactions dovetails with our strategic vision to continue to
expand our corporate practice,” stated John P. Napoli, co-managing
partner of Seyfarth’s New York office and member of the firm’s
Executive Committee. “Several of our corporate partners have worked
with Luke over the years. We have existing common client
relationships and his joining our firm deepens and expands those
relationships and our corporate bench.”
A seasoned transactions lawyer, Iovine counsels clients on
mergers & acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, corporate
governance and other complex transactional matters. He advises
companies and investors in a broad range of industries, including
telecommunications, real estate, and financial services, among
others. Iovine’s practice extends beyond U.S. domestic transactions
and includes extensive experience advising clients concerning
transactions in various Latin American countries.
“We are excited to have a lawyer of Luke’s caliber join our
growing corporate department,” said Steven R. Meier, Seyfarth’s
Corporate department chair. “His experience across multiple
industries, including especially telecommunications and real
estate, is synergistic with our existing capabilities. In addition,
Luke’s experience in cross-border investment transactions will
further strengthen our relationships with our multinational
clients.”
Seyfarth’s New York office offers clients a full-service,
multidisciplinary team of attorneys across virtually all areas of
practice. The corporate group works with an array of businesses
from large well-known companies to aggressive start-ups and is
highly regarded for its deep knowledge of mergers and acquisitions,
securities, investment management, corporate counseling, financing
and commercial transactions.
“Seyfarth’s team approach was a big draw for me as well as the
firm’s commitment to invest and expand even more its corporate
practice,” noted Iovine. “I look forward to rolling up my sleeves
as we build a premier corporate practice and become trusted
advisors for major corporations in both the U.S. and abroad.”
Iovine received his B.A./B.S. from Bucknell University, and his
J.D., summa cum laude, from Seton Hall University School of Law,
where he was valedictorian.
