Foley & Lardner LLP partner Brian Wheeler’s recent arrival to the firm is highlighted across business and legal press, including The Recorder article, “Foley & Lardner Hires Former SoftBank GC in San Francisco, Eyeing Fund Formation Opportunities.”
In his interview with The Recorder, Wheeler emphasized Foley’s focus on growing the firm’s presence in the California fund formation market, where he said there is significant untapped potential.
“There’s a huge number of folks at VC and PE firms out here, but most people are having to go back to New York to get their advice,” Wheeler explained. “There’s only a handful of firms that people see as top-quality fund formation firms, and I really hope that we start becoming mentioned in that conversation. Foley’s well on its way to doing that.”
Coverage of Wheeler’s arrival also appeared in Bloomberg Law here and here, Daily Journal, Law360, POLITICO, and The Hill.
