Honigman has expanded its private equity practice in Chicago with the appointment of Franklin Gregg and Marjorie Mygrants as partners within its corporate department, according to a report by ABF Journal.

Gregg joins from Kirkland & Ellis, while Mygrants arrives from Ropes & Gray. Both will focus on advising private equity sponsors, portfolio companies, and strategic investors on a range of transactional matters.

Gregg’s practice centres on M&A and private equity transactions, including leveraged buyouts, take-privates and de-SPAC deals. Mygrants advises on domestic and cross-border M&A, divestitures, growth equity investments and restructurings, as well as corporate governance and compliance.
