Hughes Hubbard’s Private Equity team represents private equity sponsors and funds, as well as their portfolio companies, in a wide range of transactions. These include acquisitions and divestitures of companies through negotiated and unsolicited transactions, primary and secondary leveraged buyouts, rollups, going-private transactions, management buyouts and auction bids. We also advise sponsors and funds on alternative liquidity options, such as minority stakes sales, continuation funds, general partner-led secondaries, dividend recapitalizations and net asset value loans.

“Our go-to firm for M&A work.” – Client quote, Legal 500

For our clients’ portfolio companies, we handle transactional and other matters, including strategic add-on acquisitions, recapitalizations and other refinancings; restructurings; joint ventures; spin-off transactions; and dispositions. We also handle acquisitions of non-control equity interests in public and private companies, economic participations and other co-investments. Furthermore, we have extensive experience with all forms of acquisition and other related transaction financings, including asset-based and other senior financing, mezzanine, high-yield debt, and preferred and common equity.

Our Private Equity team works closely with our Venture Capital and Asset Management practices to serve our clients through every stage of funding.
