Management Teams

Advising management teams in connection with high value or complex private equity transactions is an important part of our wider private equity practice.

The management teams we advise tell us that our combination of expertise and experience facilitates the delivery of truly valued advice. They say that:

we explain complex issues, and jargon, in a simple, commercial manner;
we know the points that are negotiable and the points that are non-negotiable, and the acceptable ranges of negotiation; and
we make the transaction process efficient to the benefit of all involved.

Clients regard the broad private equity knowledge of our partners as invaluable. We do not have partners who only advise management teams, instead we have a team of partners who focus on advising management whilst maintaining a wider private equity practice.

Our relevant experience includes advising management teams backed by UK, US, European and Chinese PE houses.
