DLA Piper

DLA Piper, under the stewardship of project finance specialist Gerard Kneppers, is the firm of choice for a number of private equity borrowers requiring financing for both acquisitions and the operations of their portfolio companies, while also assisting corporate borrowers on the restatement of existing financing arrangements. ‘Leading voice in the industry’ Max Mayer, who is qualified in England & Wales, advises mid-market private equity sponsors on securing loans from private credit funds, which is also an area of focus for Nine Scheenjes. Mark Heddema, who arrived from Loyens & Loeff in February 2024, augments the firm’s real estate finance capacity.
