Russell Stein, chair of RIW’s Mergers & Acquisitions Practice Group, has been recognized by Legal 500 in their inaugural Boston City Elite rankings in the Mergers & Acquisitions category. This recognition spotlights standout attorneys doing exceptional work at top regional firms across major U.S. cities. Unlike broader national rankings, the City Elite list focuses on lawyers outside the global megafirms, recognizing those who consistently deliver high-caliber, market-leading work within their regions. Selection is based on rigorous research, including interviews with peers and clients and a close review of recent high-impact matters.
Russ advises companies of all sizes on mergers, acquisitions, and other complex business transactions. With a practical, business-minded approach, he helps clients navigate every stage of the deal process—from initial strategy and due diligence to negotiation, closing, and post-transaction integration. Known for being both detail-oriented and solutions-focused, Russ works closely with business owners, executives, and investors to structure deals that align with their goals while minimizing risk.
