This section focuses on transactional private equity matters such as buyouts and the merger or reorganisation of private equity houses. Advice on regulatory issues and representation before the relevant regulatory bodies is also relevant. The section gives greatest credit to the representation of asset managers, but also covers the representation of institutional investors and regulators. Law firms should be able to demonstrate that private equity work is a specific focus rather than an incidental feature of a broader corporate/M&A practice. Fund formation work is also relevant.
