Our clients in the private equity and venture capital sector operate in a market where there is growing competition to win mandates and constant pressure to maximise returns to investors. Our private equity group recognises the importance of providing top-quality legal advice that encompasses timely, practical and, where appropriate, innovative solutions to minimise risk, maximise efficiency and provide a competitive advantage for our clients.

We are a leader in this sector, with extensive experience working on private and public M&A and fund raising transactions across a wide range of market sectors. We have a strong presence in all the major financial and commercial centres in Europe and Asia.

Our team

We bring together transactional lawyers and specialists from across our practice areas and locations to give our clients access to the leaders in international tax, competition, securitisation, corporate and M&A, as well as specialists in employee-related matters (management incentives, employment and pensions), real estate and intellectual property/information technology.

Our strong local knowledge, combined with a thorough understanding of the international legal environment, ensures we are in an ideal position to assist clients with EU and Asian interests, particularly those engaged in cross-border activities or who invest in more than one country. We have the specialist experience and the depth of resource to advise on the most complex multijurisdictional transactions and can help from the outset in high-level decision-making.
