Salil Gandhi, of counsel at Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, is joining Goodwin Procter's technology companies group as a partner as the latter looks to capitalize on a growing market for tech clients in New York.

“I think the New York market is growing incredibly fast, it's still in its infancy but we're seeing the path to maturity,” Gandhi said. “And with that entrepreneurial spirit, I was excited about joining the young team that's here in New York that I've seen on the opposite side of so many of my deals and [I] was impressed by the level of lawyering and the client base they already had in place.”

Gandhi, who started his legal career in 2002 as an associate in the corporate group at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, specializes in representing startup companies. He advises those clients on a variety of corporate and governance issues, such as corporate formation, venture capital financing and exit transactions.
