Woolery & Co has appointed Debbie Wang as counsel, expanding the strategic advisory law firm’s capabilities in mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, minority investments, and other complex corporate transactions.
Wang joins Woolery & Co from Ropes & Gray, where she was recently elected counsel. She brings nearly a decade of experience representing businesses, financial institutions, investment funds, family offices, and other investors.
Her transactional work spans public and private companies and industries that include financial services, media, consumer products, and life sciences.
Wang has managed sophisticated transaction teams and advised clients through high-stakes negotiations, diligence, documentation, and closing processes. That experience will support Woolery & Co’s focus on strategic matters requiring advice tailored to a client’s specific business objectives and relationships.
The firm works with founders, family offices, investment funds, and companies on transactions and other significant corporate decisions. Its model emphasizes a limited number of deep client relationships rather than routine, high-volume legal assignments.
Woolery & Co also coordinates with clients’ existing bankers, lawyers, consultants, and other advisers. The approach is designed to integrate legal strategy with financial, commercial, governance, and relationship considerations.
The firm was founded by James Woolery, an attorney and corporate adviser with experience in mergers and acquisitions, governance, shareholder matters, and strategic transactions.
Wang’s appointment gives the firm additional capacity to advise on acquisitions, dispositions, investments, and related corporate issues. Her experience with both companies and financial investors may also help clients evaluate transactions from multiple perspectives.
The addition reflects Woolery & Co’s continued investment in a team structured to provide senior-level attention and creative solutions for transactions that can affect a client’s ownership, operations, and long-term direction.
KEY QUOTE:
“Every client comes to us with a distinct set of goals, relationships and strategic considerations. Debbie’s significant experience navigating complex M&A and corporate transactions will be a tremendous addition to our growing team to help our clients achieve their unique objectives.”
Jim Woolery, Founder and Managing Partner of Woolery & Co
