Al Rose, a Ropes & Gray partner since 1991, practices in the Corporate Department and specializes in leveraged buyouts, mergers and acquisitions and structured financial products.  He is Co-Head of the firm's Private Equity Transactions practice group.  


In 2005, Al represented a consortium of seven private equity firms (Silver Lake Partners, Bain Capital, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, Providence Equity Partners, KKR, and TPG) in their $11 billion acquisition of SunGard Data Systems, at the time the largest buyout since KKR bought RJR Nabisco in 1989.

Other representative transactions have included the $2.1 billion acquisition of UGS, a product lifecycle software company, by Bain Capital, Silver Lake Partners and Warburg Pincus, and the acquisitions of Dollarama, a chain of Canadian dollar stores, and M|C Communications, a provider of physician training services, by Bain Capital.
