My firm, McGuireWoods, has become the preeminent law firm in the country for independent sponsors, which are similar to search funds. Our annual conference (www.independentsponsorconference.com) attracts many independent sponsors and capital providers. We have become particularly useful to searchers who need or want to talk to new investors for a deal they’ve found.

We are a top-5 firm for deals under $50m and also for deals under $500m. This independent sponsor initiative helped us be named Law Firm of the Year in 2017 by M&A magazine and Most Innovative Law Firm in the Business of Law by the Financial Times in 2018.

There is a good list here of search fund focused lawyers here - https://www.searchfunder.com/user/list/professional/legal

You will likely hear names like Vedder Price and Goodwin Proctor come up a lot though.
