Garrett Bishop is a corporate and transactional lawyer who delivers practical and efficient solutions to public and private companies, understanding that the successful resolution of legal issues is but a part of the client’s overall business goals.

He also provides ongoing advice to public companies regarding their corporate governance initiatives, federal securities law compliance, disclosure, and reporting obligations involving the Securities and Exchange Commission and public stock exchanges.
Garrett is a member of the firm’s Transactions Practice Group, with Capital Markets & Public Company Advisory, Corporate Governance, and Mergers & Acquisitions Practices.
Prior to joining Foley, Garrett participated in the Summer Honors Programs and externships of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C., for two years where, among other responsibilities, he aided staff in the implementation of Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act rulemakings relating to derivatives.
