Global law firm McDermott Will & Schulte has appointed Lisa Göransson as senior consultant in its London office, strengthening its cross-border M&A capabilities.
Lisa brings nearly 30 years of experience advising on complex corporate finance and M&A transactions, with a strong focus on Nordic markets and globally. She joins from A&O Shearman, where she was a corporate partner and led the Nordic Desk.
As a dual qualified English and Swedish lawyer with close to 30 years of corporate law experience with leading law firms in both London and Stockholm, most recently as a corporate partner at A&O Shearman, Lisa has advised leading corporates, private equity firms, and financial institutions on complex cross-border M&A and joint ventures across the Nordic region and globally.
Lisa has also held General Counsel roles, including with a Swedish NASDAQ listed multinational company, and served as an acting judge with the Stockholm Court of Appeals.
“Lisa’s arrival is a significant development for our European transactions practice,” saidHarris Siskind, global head of McDermott’s Transactions Practice Group. “Her deep relationships across the Nordic market and her command of cross-border M&A give our clients immediate access to a highly skilled advisor who understands both the legal and commercial dynamics of the region. We are delighted to welcome her to McDermott.”
Aymen Mahmoud, McDermott’s London Managing Partner, commented: “McDermott has undertaken a significant number of Nordic transactions in recent years and it represents a strong area for growth. Lisa’s experience, spanning private practice at a leading global firm and an in-house role at a listed company, means she brings a genuinely rounded perspective to every transaction. The synergies are clear and we are excited to deepen our client relationships in the region.”
