Walter T. Rahmey Partner

Walter Rahmey focuses his practice on mergers and acquisitions, private equity investments and general corporate matters across a wide range of industries.

He advises clients on business matters at every stage of their life cycles, including start-up formations, seed financings, incentive compensation, strategic acquisitions, equity and debt investments and sale transactions.

Walter represents both private equity sponsors and owner-operators in complex, high-stakes transactions, as well as everyday operational matters. In his work with private equity buyers, he supports sponsors during platform acquisitions and often continues as counsel for add-on acquisitions. He leverages this buy-side experience to assist owner-operators with sales to both private equity buyers and strategic buyers. He is also involved in equity financings and negotiating partnership agreements, where his strong relationships play a vital role.

Drawing on his family background in the consumer industry, Walter brings a practical, business-focused perspective to legal challenges. His clients appreciate his partnership approach, as he works alongside them and offers actionable advice to help close deals.

Prior to joining Morrison Cohen, Walter was an associate in the mergers and acquisitions group of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP.
