The Goodwin Paris Private Investment Funds team advised Chequers Capital, a leading European mid-market buyout investor, on the fundraising of Chequers Capital XVIII S.L.P. reaching its €1.2 billion target.
Chequers Capital XVIII surpassed its predecessor’s size through a combination of support from existing and new institutional investors across Europe, the US and Asia.
Chequers is mostly investing in primary buyout transactions, across Asset Light Industrials, Digital Services and B2B Services businesses in Western Europe.
The Goodwin team was led by Sarah Michel and included Maxime Hemled and Julie Louzeau on fund formation aspects, Marie-Laure Bruneel and Paul Fournière on tax aspects, and Adrien Paturaud and Benjamin Filiatre on financing aspects.
