Goodwin has once again been recognized as the leading law firm for mid-cap private equity financing transactions in Germany in the latest Relationship Tracker published by German business magazine FINANCE, in cooperation with financing platform Leverest.
The rankings focus on mid-market leveraged buyout financings across the DACH region and assess the strength of relationships between private equity sponsors, debt advisers, law firms, and lenders. Goodwin ranked highest as the most frequently instructed law firm by private equity investors on financing transactions.
The ranking highlights the role of Goodwin partners Winfried M. Carli and Folko Moroni, who are regularly mandated by a broad range of financial sponsors who are active in the German and wider DACH mid-market.
Goodwin is also listed among the preferred firms for lenders, underscoring the team’s strong credentials on both the sponsor and financing sides.
“We are delighted that Goodwin has once again been recognized as a leader in the German mid-cap private equity finance market,” said Winfried M. Carli, Chair of the Munich office and partner in Goodwin’s global Private Equity practice. “This recognition reflects the strength of our client relationships and our longstanding focus on advising both sponsors and lenders on complex leveraged finance transactions across the DACH region.”
Folko Moroni, partner in Goodwin’s Private Equity practice, added: “Continued momentum in mid-market financings and add-on transactions in Germany plays directly to our strengths. We are grateful to our clients for their ongoing trust and to our peers across the market for their collaboration on these transactions.”
