A successful investment strategy necessitates the ability to spot a good opportunity, an
understanding of the market and regulatory challenges, outstanding industry and sector
knowledge, and experience in closing domestic and cross-border transactions. Our Private
Equity Practice offers all these coupled with superior transaction management assistance to
give our clients exceptional support through the life cycle of a deal.
We have established a formidable reputation in the market for working on large and complex
transactions within very tight timelines. Our services cover the entirety of an investment
cycle, from fund formation, downstream investment, follow-on transactions, restructuring of
holdings to exit from the investment.
Our lawyers structure transactions across publicly traded and private companies, consortium
deals, management buy-outs, pre-IPO placements, and private investment in public
equity (PIPE) deals covering financial services, technology, hospitality, media, research &
development, telecom, energy, roads, pharmaceutical, and real estate sectors.
