Andrew S. Flynn

Andrew has represented private equity sponsors, private companies and publicly traded companies in transactions ranging from $20 million to more than $7 billion, including both in the U.S. and international markets, with a particular focus on the middle market.

He regularly counsels clients on a broad array of general corporate matters, including employee equity matters, commercial arrangements, and other day-to-day legal needs, drawing on experience across the full lifecycle of transactions. Andrew particularly values the opportunity to help clients navigate “first-time” legal issues—whether that involves a significant sale or add-on acquisition, or addressing post-closing operational and integration matters for a growing portfolio company.

Recognized for his thoughtful counsel and communication skills, Andrew works closely with clients to understand their goals to leverage the full resources of the firm to efficiently structure, negotiate and close transactions.

Andrew maintains an active pro bono practice, including advising nonprofit organizations on entity formation, tax-exempt applications, and compliance matters. He is also actively involved as a volunteer in his community.

Prior to joining Benesch, Andrew was an attorney at Ropes & Gray LLP. Prior to receiving his law license, Andrew worked at a firm advising family businesses on tax and corporate governance matters. Prior to law school, he worked for a national environmental nonprofit organization advising state and local governments on public financing.
