San Luis Obispo, Calif., April 16 – Goodwin Procter announced the addition of Richard Lever to its private equity group, according to a press release.

Lever joins as a partner in the firm’s London office from King & Wood Mallesons, where he co-led the corporate group with a focus on middle-market private equity transactions and portfolio company work.

According to the release, Goodwin’s private equity group focuses on buyouts, recapitalizations, growth equity investments and portfolio company transactions in the United States and internationally, with a focus on the middle market and growth equity sectors.

“The addition of Richard to spearhead the growth of our private equity practice in Europe is a significant and long-planned strategic step in the expansion of our London office capabilities,” London office chair David Evans said in the press release. “As Goodwin Procter continues to deepen its London presence, we look forward, with Richard’s support, to growing our European private equity offering to sit alongside our existing flagship European real estate sector-focused practice.”

The Boston-based law firm focuses on matters involving financial institutions, intellectual property, private equity, real estate capital markets, securities litigation/white collar defense and technology/life sciences.
