Goulston & Storrs, an Am Law 200 firm, is pleased to announce that Kristen Ferris has joined its Boston office as a director in the firm’s Corporate Group. She brings a wealth of experience in a broad range of corporate transactions and financings, including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, private equity, and venture capital transactions to the firm. Prior to joining Goulston & Storrs, Ferris was a partner at an Am Law 100 U.S. law firm.

Ferris’ clients include public and private companies, as well as private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies. Kristen has led many deals in wide-ranging industries including transactions in the technology, consumer retail, life sciences, energy, and automotive spaces.

The firm’s corporate group operates at the top of the market handling high-level, global and complicated deals, and I am looking forward to being part of the firm’s well-known collegial and collaborative culture and working with its very talented lawyers,” said Ferris.

Ferris has volunteered with Election Protection since 2008 and led a hotline call center during the 2020 presidential election.
