Our business and transactional attorneys understand the nuances of private equity transactions from working with large and middle market private equity investors and fund sponsors in the acquisition and disposition of portfolio holdings and from assisting numerous sellers in transactions with private equity firms.  We have extensive experience in all aspects of an acquisition/investment transaction, including tax structuring, financing, and complex acquisition/investment negotiations. Together with our venture capital team, we assist clients throughout every stage of the investment cycle, providing a seasoned perspective of the private equity industry and an understanding of markets, trends and issues. We also provide a full range of legal services to individual portfolio companies during the term of the investment, including with respect to general operational matters, corporate governance matters, regulatory compliance, add-on acquisitions, and divestitures, all informed by a sophisticated appreciation of the sponsors’ interests and priorities.
