Global law firm Goodwin has appointed John Servidio as partner in its Capital Markets group in New York.
Servidio represents banks, investment funds and issuers in structuring corporate derivative, equity and equity-linked capital markets transactions. He assists clients with hedging structures involving equity, interest rate, foreign currency, energy and commodity derivatives. He also advises dealers, asset managers and corporate clients on resolving issues related to the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Securities Exchange Commission rules and regulations.
Servidio’s previous experience includes serving as assistant general counsel at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and as an attorney in the legal department at another significant investment banking firm. Before law school, he was an analyst in the real estate group at a large commercial bank.
“Goodwin acts for the most sophisticated clients, representing issuers, investment banks and financial sponsors across the full spectrum of corporate financing transactions,” said Jim Barri, who co-chairs the firm’s Debt Capital Markets practice with Ettore Santucci. “John’s impressive depth in converts, derivatives, hedges and structured products and his ability to seamlessly execute these increasingly complicated transactions will be a great complement to our comprehensive, full-service offering. We are thrilled to welcome him to the firm.”
