Kayo Women in M&A Summit

Private Capital partners Allison Liff and Claire James moderated separated panels at this year’s Kayo M&A Summit.

Allison Liff, Co-Head of Global Leveraged Finance, moderated the “Financing the Deal: Capital Markets Perspectives” panel, which discussed financing changes with the new administration, the possibility of upper-level financings being utilized and the pros and cons of debt versus equity.

Claire James moderated the “Inside the Private Capital Landscape with Molly Hughes at Madison Dearborn Partners” fireside chat, which was a forward-looking discussion on the evolving landscape of private capital markets.

As part of Kayo’s 12th Annual Private Equity Series, the M&A Summit brought together over 300 leading women in mergers and acquisitions, private equity and capital markets to discuss market insights and exchange strategies. Freshfields was a Gold Sponsor of the event.
