Private Equity

Private equity investors face daily challenges, including fundraising, origination, valuation, execution, performance, exit strategies and regulation. Traditional tools of private equity for generating performance continue to reap rewards but this maturing industry also needs to recognise the need to innovate and improve value creation.

The challenges increase when the legal framework of credit and financial institutions evolves at a different time of reality, and the task of finding solutions that reconcile cultural differences, diverging business climates, and legal frameworks is often complex. The ability to negotiate and establish partnerships are critical factors for the success of many operations.

Whatever your opportunities or challenges may be, our team is specially designed to understand your business needs and provide crucial advice in each transaction.

We can help you shape your strategy, manage risks and make the most of business opportunities in these areas:

  • Incorporation of Funds
  • Processes of Fund Raising
  • Processes of Companies’ Acquisition, Sale and Restructuring
  • Acquisitions Finance
  • Strategic Partnerships

We have an in-depth knowledge of how corporate M&A law applies in practice across different markets and with cross-disciplinary teams, we work to provide advice close to our clients’ needs.
