Chambers Review
Freshfields has an outstanding pan-European private equity group with significant European offices in Germany, France, Spain and the UK. The law firm works closely with the firm's competition law, finance and tax teams to provide full-service advice. It advises leading private equity houses on high-end deals, further advising on bolt-on acquisitions that facilitate the international expansion of portfolio companies and that necessitate both the drafting of new management incentive schemes and the negotiation of additional loan facilities. Freshfields offers notable experience in regulated sectors, including technology and life sciences, and also counts pension and sovereign wealth funds among its clients.
Charles Hayes and Arend von Riegen are both central figures in the firm's European financial sponsors group and are based in London and Frankfurt respectively.
