Private Equity

Our practice focuses on representing private equity funds, hedge funds and financial sponsors, as well as their respective portfolio companies, in a wide range of investment, financing and related transactions.

These matters include mergers and acquisitions of public and private companies through negotiated and unsolicited transactions, such as primary and secondary leveraged buyouts, going-private transactions, proxy contests, management buyouts, stock-for-stock transactions and auction bids. We also handle acquisitions of non-control equity interests in public and private companies, economic participations and other co-investments and venture capital financings, spanning from “angel” to late-stage investments.

Our experience extends to all forms of transaction financings, including asset-based and other senior financing, mezzanine and high-yield debt financing and preferred and common equity financing. In addition, our practice includes a broad range of client representation in connection with the formation, capital raising and operations of many different types of investment funds.

We utilize the experience in many of our other practice areas, including litigation, product liability, intellectual property and corporate reorganization, to, among other things, conduct comprehensive due diligence reviews of investment targets and investment assets.
