Skadden advises private equity firms on structuring and executing large cross-border and domestic private equity transactions. We have a long-established European private equity practice with a strong footprint in Germany that combines leading transactional experience with sophisticated financing and tax techniques in relation to a broad range of matters. Our private equity lawyers advise firms and their investment funds and portfolio companies at all stages of the investment cycle, including the formation and operation of private equity funds, acquisitions involving public and private companies, the structuring and implementation of management equity participation schemes, corporate restructurings and the structuring and financing of add-on investments, as well as exits including recapitalizations, sales, IPOs and dual-track processes. We also represent most of the leading global banks and underwriters in the region, including many active providers or arrangers of bank and high-yield financing in private equity transactions.
