For the third quarter of 2015, Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP was ranked as one of the eighth most active law firms per number of private equity deals in the U.S. middle market by Pitchbook. The Seattle-based company provides proprietary data, analytics and technology to professionals in the private financial markets. According to Pitchbook, over the past few years, the U.S. middle market has become the dominant space for private equity investors.
