McGuireWoods partner Jon Finger ranked among the most prolific deal lawyers in Texas in 2024, according to data compiled by The Texas Lawbook, underscoring his national reputation as go-to strategic adviser for sophisticated private equity transactions.
Finger led or co-led 21 transactions to rank fourth among Texas lawyers who represent buyers, sellers or targets in M&A and private equity deals. An award-winning leader in private equity for over 20 years, Finger advises clients in private equity and corporate transactional matters, including mergers and acquisitions, fund formation, securities offerings and corporate governance initiatives.
Finger leads McGuireWoods’ private equity industry team and was instrumental in creating the firm’s international Independent Sponsor and Emerging Manager programs. The innovative programs distinguish McGuireWoods as the preeminent law firm for emerging private investment fund managers.
McGuireWoods will host the 2025 Emerging Manager Conference — the premier event for EMs and limited partners — April 29-30 in Dallas. And the firm’s 2025 Independent Sponsor Conference will be held Oct. 14-15 in Dallas.
As a leader of one of the first legal practices focused on independent sponsors and emerging managers, Finger has seen the independent sponsor market evolve into a key driver of business. He shared insights on the explosive growth of the independent sponsor community with The Wall Street Journal in a Feb. 7, 2025, story in the newspaper’s “WSJ Pro Private Equity” newsletter.
