She mainly advises on acquisitions and the deployment of capital, as well as fund structuring, empowerment transactions and joint ventures.

Sally Hutton is super responsive and commercial. She really helps us through the commercial issues and she is a great negotiator.

I think Sally Hutton is without question the standout private equity lawyer in this country.
