The group’s offering spans primary and secondary investments, divestments, and buyouts, as well as private equity-backed M&A, fund formations, and joint ventures. With wide-ranging capabilities, the department is sought after by a growing client roster which is made up of notable private equity houses, sovereign wealth funds, and institutional investors.
