Areas of expertise
Private equity and buy-outs
We offer a comprehensive service, providing financing, tax and funds advice across all types of private equity transactions. We are actively involved in all stages of the private equity lifecycle, from business start-ups, early stage and expansion to buy-outs and exits. We act for private equity houses and other investors, investees and their management, and counterparties on private-equity-backed acquisitions or disposals. Recent examples of our work include advising:
· Royal Bank of Scotland of several leveraged buy-outs
· Sellers and management on the £45m MBO of Swift Technical by Gresham Private Equity
Joint ventures
We have acted on numerous joint ventures and shareholder arrangements, most recently Crest Nicholson on its joint venture with Bioregional Quintain for the development of a landmark, eco-friendly development of the New England Quarter, Brighton and on a further joint venture for an £80m development. We have particular expertise in real estate joint ventures.
