Les Korsh

Chief legal officer and corporate secretary, Patterson Companies

Description

Amid Patterson Companies’ sale in 2025 to Patient Square Capital, a transaction valued at approximately $4.1 billion, Les Korsh played a crucial role in Patterson’s strategic review, complex negotiations, and rigorous governance. His leadership helped secure a 49% premium for shareholders and positioned Patterson for continued growth. His dedication demonstrates some of the impact he’s made in more than 11 years with the Mendota Heights-based maker of dental equipment and veterinary supplies. “He balances business foresight and innovation with a commitment to developing others,” says Amie Allison, director of business development, “earning him recognition for mentoring legal professionals and fostering high ethical standards.”
