Chicago, March 1 – Dorsey & Whitney LLP said it hired Kevin Dooley as a senior counsel in Minneapolis and Stuart Chasanoff, Melissa Hicks Hutchison and Michael Lii as counsel in Dallas.

The lawyers practiced most recently with the Schiff Hardin law firm.

Dooley was a former general counsel in the private equity industry, advising institutional providers of debt and equity capital for private middle-market mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and recapitalizations. He has “particularly deep experience in representing mezzanine debt funds,” according to a company announcement. Dooley also provides general corporate advice to private business owners.

Chasanoff, meanwhile, focuses on representing a wide range of institutional investors in fund formation, acquisitions, growth and exit transactions, control and minority equity investments and all manner of domestic and cross-border mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.

Hutchison counsels clients on corporate finance and general corporate matters, focusing on financial institution, private equity fund, mezzanine fund and agented bank representation. Specifically, she advises clients in connection with commercial loan transactions, subordinated debt transactions, asset-based lending and mezzanine and equity financing and restructurings.

Lii represents clients in commercial finance transactions, with an emphasis on oil and gas transactions, mortgage warehouse loan facilities, commercial loan transactions, subordinated debt transactions, and asset-based lending. He also represents clients in derivative transactions.
