Private Equity

When the stakes are high and time is short, private equity dealmakers need a legal team with expertise, speed and the ability to innovate. Whether devising tax-efficient cross-border structures or steering clients through intricate regulatory environments, we develop tailored solutions that get the deal done.

From mid-market deals to multibillion-dollar transactions, we assist private equity investors through every stage of the investment cycle, including buyouts and add-on acquisitions, carve-out transactions, consortia arrangements, cross-border transactions, distressed and special situations, IPOs, management buyouts, PIPEs, refinancing and dividend recaps, and rollups. In addition to domestic and foreign private equity firms, our clients include domestic and foreign pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and family offices, as well as specialized private equity funds such as growth equity, telecommunications, mining and metals, energy, infrastructure and real estate.

We leverage our expertise in M&A, tax, finance, capital markets, antitrust and foreign investment, technology, employment and incentive compensation, real estate and environmental law to address the full scope of transaction-related issues. Post acquisition, we work with portfolio companies on a wide array of matters to support their growth and assist with their exit strategies.

Our exceptional market insights and extensive industry network enable us to cut through obstacles and find novel solutions, creating value and giving our clients an edge in securing deals in a competitive environment. Whatever the challenge – and whatever the timeline – we get you across the finish line.
