Our Commitment to Diversity

Private Equity

The global Private Equity practice comprises an integrated network of lawyers spanning Asia, Australia, Europe, and the United States. Our lawyers are positioned in the world’s leading financial centers—from New York  and London to Luxembourg and Hong Kong—and in dynamic, rapidly growing technology and development centers, including Austin, Boston, Charlotte, Fort Worth, Melbourne, Palo Alto, Paris, Pittsburgh, Research Triangle Park, San Francisco, and Seattle.

Our Private Equity lawyers advise fund sponsors and investors across all asset classes, including private equity, real estate, venture capital, hedge, credit, and infrastructure, on the full spectrum of issues faced across the entire lifecycle of a private equity fund. 

Our cradle-to-grave approach gives us a unique understanding of all facets of a fund’s evolution.

We couple our global, lifecycle perspective with deep industry and sector-specific experience across many of the key industries in which today’s private funds most actively invest. This allows us to leverage our Private Equity lawyers with practitioners who focus on transactions, regulatory matters, and operations in distinct industries. We are steadfastly committed to staying on top of market trends and being continually cognizant of emerging nuances and developments.

The group’s breadth of global experience across sectors and asset classes, as well as its sophisticated knowledge of all aspects of fund formation, transactions, and operations, allows us to see issues before they arise and to provide holistic, efficient, and practical advice to our clients—to the funds themselves, management companies, portfolio companies, and to fund investors.
