Private Equity

The world’s most active private equity practice

Our globally recognized Private Equity team does more buyouts and growth equity deals than any other firm in the world. This experience enables us to leverage deep market insights and an extensive network of industry relationships to help clients secure deals and build equity value.

We represent private equity sponsors, early- through late-stage investors, portfolio companies, senior management teams, lenders, financial institutions, and alternative investors.

Drawing on our experience with more than 10,000 emerging growth companies in the technology, healthcare, financial services, consumer, and real estate sectors, we deliver the deepest level of expertise to our private equity clients. That means not only helping them invest in target portfolio companies but helping to ensure they thoroughly understand targets before they invest.

Our team focuses on five main areas: buyouts, growth equity, private investment funds, debt finance, and portfolio companies (as outlined below). We also provide unparalleled support in other critical areas, including litigation, intellectual property, privacy and cybersecurity, executive compensation, labor and employment, and tax.
