France > Private equity: Fund formation
(Leading partners)‘Expertise, experience and professionalism’ are the calling cards of the team at Goodwin, which is lauded by another client as ‘among the best in the business’. The group deals with the gamut of funds mandates and regularly advises on the formation of private equity, infrastructure, tech, venture capital, and debt funds. Leadership is shared between ‘leading fund formation partner’ Arnaud David
and ‘problem solver’ Sarah Michel, who is noted for her ‘strong experience in the sector’ and has experience in LP and GP-led transactions. A recent mandate of note saw the team advise BEX Capital on the formation of BEX Capital V for a target amount of $1bn.
