For more than three decades, Patricia Falb, a shareholder at Milwaukee-based Godfrey & Kahn S.C., has been a trusted advisor to many privately-held companies, owners and executive teams. She specializes in matters involving mergers and acquisitions, secured lending and commercial transactions, investment agreements, mezzanine and venture financing, private placements and contract negotiations in transactions of all sizes and in a variety of industries.
Additionally, she provides counsel on corporate governance matters, strategic planning, executive compensation and ownership succession.
Her colleagues describe her as smart and hardworking.
“Her attention to detail is second to none which is a critical attribute to every successful deal,” said Nic Wahl, managing partner of Godfrey & Kahn. “She is also very practical and down-to-earth, which clients appreciate. She is honest, asks tough questions and pushes hard for their success.”
She has served on the board of directors for the Wisconsin Humane Society and also serves on the board of directors of Godfrey & Kahn.
Falb serves as a role model and a mentor to young attorneys at Godfrey & Kahn, said Wahl.
“She encourages them to listen, think independently, create and share relationships, and overall, be their best selves,” he said.
