Private equity companies, sponsors and investment shareholders regularly instruct Milbank on mid- and large-cap transactions, where the practice comprehensively advises on the acquisition and expansion of portfolio companies as well as exits. The team frequently supports cross-border matters in cooperation with the firm's international network, including the locations in the US, London and Hong Kong; this is complemented by interfacing expertise in corporate, finance and tax law matters. Norbert Rieger advises on public takeovers, public-to-private transactions and advises on tax matters in the context of PE mandates, while Sebastian Heim regularly assists with cross-border PE transactions, including LBOs and minority participations. Both are key contacts for PE matters and act integrated into the corporate team.
