Investment Transactions
We are a boutique firm, but we operate with a global reach. We have the same deal savvy and experience that you would find working with a top-tier international law firm, but we are not encumbered by the staffing model and rigidity inherent in most big firms. We understand that when it comes to buying and selling your firm’s assets, timely execution and efficiency are of paramount importance. It’s about minimizing transactional and tail risk without maximizing transaction costs.
On behalf of our private equity fund clients, we serve as transactional counsel for portfolio company acquisitions and dispositions, paying particular attention to the management and control issues, as well as the payment stream, waterfall and exit provisions that often prove most critical in protecting a private equity fund’s ownership interests and financial returns. We also have extensive experience in the arena of cross-border transactions, particularly in Asia where we have developed close working relationships with local attorneys in key Southeast Asian markets.
