Private Equity

As a private equity fund, investor or management team, you face daily pressures of valuations, performance, bolt-ons, exit strategies and regulation. The relative availability of debt together with significant levels of capital committed to the private equity industry, or held on corporate balance sheets, has strongly impacted the competition for assets and pricing levels. Coupled with an often difficult differential in valuations between sellers and investors, common across the Middle East, and a resistance to assuming liability, can make acquisitions in the Middle East particularly challenging. A cohesive private equity strategy, together with an expertise in value-enhancing matters such as Warranty & Indemnity Insurance, will support you to help unlock difficult transactions and ensure that you acquire the right assets and obtain maximum value from your portfolio. We are structured around your business sectors and that of your targets. This means we can advise you on all stages of a fund’s lifecycle, from formation and administration to the making of investments, portfolio monitoring and exiting.

The whole team provide a service beyond anything that I have experienced in over 15 years of doing deals.
