TANA RYAN
Latham & Watkins
Latham & Watkins Los Angeles partner Tana Ryan deftly guides private equity funds and their portfolio companies in their most significant transactions, demonstrating particular mastery when deals entail stringent regulatory overlays, distressed dynamics, or complicated cross-border elements. The transactions she leads regularly garner coverage by leading media outlets. Clients seek her counsel on deals at the forefront of multiple industries, including software, media, and technology; energy, infrastructure, and transportation; financial and business services; healthcare; industrials and manufacturing; and consumer and retail products.
Ryan has spent more than 20 years rising to the top of her field in private equity-focused M&A, a practice area where women partners have been historically and dramatically underrepresented. She credits her success to focusing on the importance of making meaningful, authentic connections with her clients that allow her to earn their trust and support in negotiating their most challenging transactions.
