Dorsey welcomes Mark Churchman as partner

Brian Moore, head of Dorsey’s Global Transactions Business Group, spoke about Churchman's contributions: “Mark brings exactly the kind of cross-border, private equity experience that aligns perfectly with our platform. His track record of working with both US and UK sponsors, combined with his growing network of European clients looking to expand into the US market, makes him an excellent addition to the team."

Mark Churchman expressed his enthusiasm for the new role, stating, “Dorsey's mid-market focus and geographic footprint – particularly the US platform with offices across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific – creates real opportunities to add value for clients. The collaborative culture and clear commitment to building strength in key sectors made this the perfect fit. I'm looking forward to working with colleagues across the firm to support sponsors on their most important transactions."
