Marissa Espinoza Icochea

/My focus

Mergers & Acquisitions

I represent buyers and sellers in connection with purchasing and selling both domestic and international businesses and assets. I assist in facilitating deals and managing risk for clients by drafting and assisting in the negotiation of transactional agreements and performing due diligence.

General Corporate

I represent clients in the preparation and negotiation of a wide variety of commercial agreements. I also assist clients with entity formation, corporate structuring and restructuring, capital raises, ongoing corporate governance matters, and the dissolution or winding down of their business.

/Looking ahead

Over the past year, we’ve seen sustained government interest in healthcare transactions. I believe we will continue seeing federal and state government scrutiny over healthcare transactions, particularly those involving consolidation, as well as an evolving regulatory landscape.
