Private Equity

Our private equity practice experts provide legal counsel on all aspects of private equity to assist clients to protect and advance their business interests in a wide range of sectors. 

Our dedicated team provides legal services to individuals, companies, private equity divisions of major investment banks, and independent private equity firms.

Private equity leaders turn to us to develop creative strategies to help them win auctions, mitigate risks, and close deals quickly. From ground-breaking, monumental acquisitions to smaller strategic add-on deals, our private equity teams have implemented transactions with precision and care for established institutions, entrepreneurs, and emerging visionaries alike.

When structuring a transaction, we begin by thoroughly evaluating the investment under consideration and acquisition proposals with value-add in mind. Our lawyers can advise you on structuring and presenting bids, negotiating and drafting acquisition agreements and financing documents, offering guidance and insight right through to the end of the transaction. Our team can support clients through all stages of a deal, including:

  • Initial fundraising, formation, and building the private equity investment fund
  • Investment decisions
  • Day-to-day management of portfolio companies, including restructurings, existing debt refinancing, add-on acquisitions, and management incentive schemes
  • Exit from investments, whether by sales or recapitalizations of portfolio companies or by taking them public
