About

Provided by Eversheds Sutherland

Eversheds Sutherland’s UK Private Equity practice advises sponsors, portfolio companies, investors and management teams on transactions across the full investment lifecycle — from fund formation and initial investment to growth capital, add-on acquisitions and exit.

We act for many of the UK’s leading private equity houses, institutional investors and management teams on leveraged buyouts, management buy-outs and buy-ins, public-to-private transactions, portfolio acquisitions and disposals, and secondary transactions. Our team also advises on fund structuring, co-investments, recapitalisations and debt-for-equity restructurings.

Operating from London — the firm’s global headquarters — and supported by teams in Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds and Nottingham, we provide seamless national coverage with access to international expertise through our global network of over 30 jurisdictions. Many of our key sponsor and portfolio company relationships are led from the UK, reflecting the trust placed in our team to deliver both domestic and cross-border mandates.

We work across all major sectors, including financial services, technology, healthcare, industrials, consumer, energy and infrastructure. Clients value our ability to assemble tailored, multi-disciplinary teams combining expertise in corporate, finance, tax, regulatory, employment, real estate and IP to deliver practical, commercially focused solutions.
