For the third year, the Daily Journal has named Jorge del Calvo to its elite list of California’s top 100 lawyers.
In a profile of the Silicon Valley Emerging Growth & Venture Capital partner, the Daily Journal identified three major deals that del Calvo worked on in the past year. Those included the sale of Alliance Fiber Optic Products Inc., or AFOP, which del Calvo originally took public 17 years ago. He also advised Financial Engines in its $550 million acquisition of The Mutual Fund Store and represented Synnex Corp. in its acquisition of IBM’s customer care business for $505 million.
Del Calvo told the Daily Journal that his practice would likely focus heavily on mergers and acquisitions in the coming year due to the dearth of initial public offerings.
“I think we’re going to have the worst year from an IPO standpoint since 2003,” he said. Del Calvo added that his practice has broadened in the past three years to complement the current market swing.
“A few years back, I’d be sitting on my hands right now,” he said. “Instead, we’re beyond busy.”
