Cooley Godward Kronish LLP

Cooley Shines Without Stars
When Cooley Godward Kronish does a big deal, you can almost bet on seeing the names of superstar M&A lawyers like Keith Flaum or Richard Climan on the paperwork.

But when the Silicon Valley firm guided RF Micro Devices in its $900 million acquisition of Sirenza Microdevices, their names were nowhere to be found. Instead a young Palo Alto partner, Jane Ross, headed up the team of lawyers that hammered out the purchase for the North Carolina company.
