West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach is one of the country’s fastest-growing markets for institutional capital.  It has emerged as a leading destination for hedge funds, private equity firms, family offices, and wealth managers relocating from traditional financial centers, with more than 300 such firms now based in Palm Beach County — often described as “Wall Street South.”

From West Palm Beach, McGuireWoods’ private equity attorneys advise private equity funds, independent sponsors, family offices, and portfolio companies across the capital stack, from control buyouts and growth investments to mezzanine finance and fund formation.

The location also draws on the firm’s nationally recognized Energy M&A and Finance Practice Group, which represents utilities, developers, investors, private equity and infrastructure funds, and sponsors on transactions spanning the full energy spectrum, including renewables, LNG and traditional generation assets.  Together, these capabilities allow McGuireWoods to deliver sector-focused, business-driven counsel to clients navigating South Florida’s expanding investment landscape.
