The move underscores the firm's continued investment in its West Coast presence and its commitment to serving clients navigating an increasingly competitive corporate market. Fackler is widely recognized for his work advising on a broad range of corporate and M&A matters, and his arrival adds meaningful depth to the firm's transactional bench.
The San Francisco office plays a central role in WilmerHale's service to clients across the technology, life sciences, and broader innovation economy. By welcoming a partner with Fackler's reputation and experience, the firm strengthens its ability to guide clients through complex mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic transactions at a moment when deal activity continues to demand sophisticated counsel. His practice complements the firm's established transactional platform and aligns with its client-focused approach to sophisticated corporate work.
Fackler is known for advising public and private companies, private equity sponsors, and investors on transactions across a variety of industries.

Colleagues and clients recognize him for a practical, results-oriented approach and for his ability to help clients advance their business objectives while carefully managing legal and commercial risk.
The addition reinforces WilmerHale's transactional capabilities and reflects a deliberate strategy of enhancing the firm's West Coast offering. Clients operating in the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout the region increasingly require counsel who can seamlessly integrate corporate, regulatory, and litigation perspectives, and the firm's continued lateral growth is designed to meet that need. Fackler's arrival adds a respected voice to a team that regularly handles high-profile transactions for market-leading companies.
With this addition, WilmerHale continues to demonstrate its commitment to building a market-leading transactional practice on the West Coast. The firm looks forward to introducing Fackler to clients and to leveraging his experience across the platform as demand for skilled transactional counsel continues to grow.
