Gregory Hawver has represented private equity and strategic clients in a wide variety of change-of-control transactions, minority equity investments, domestic and cross-border acquisitions, recapitalizations, joint ventures and corporate reorganizations.

Consistent with the strengths of the McGuireWoods private equity group, Greg regularly represents independent sponsors and is familiar with the unique opportunities and challenges presented by this growing segment of the private equity ecosystem. He has led transactions in a wide variety of industries, with particular emphasis on the healthcare sector (again, leveraging the industry-leading expertise of McGuireWoods). Greg is active in the independent sponsor community. He is a host of “Deal-by-Deal” (an independent sponsor-focused podcast), is a chairperson of the forthcoming McGuireWoods deal study of independent sponsor transactions, and co-hosts regional independent sponsor groups in Chicago and Miami. With respect to pro bono, Greg has represented the interests of children in numerous disputed guardianship cases as a court-appointed guardian ad litem. Prior to joining McGuireWoods, Greg practiced corporate law at another prominent national law firm.
