Partnering with financial sponsors and portfolio companies.
Husch Blackwell’s Private Equity (PE) team routinely works with funds and their portfolio companies, providing legal advice on practically all areas relevant to their operations, including corporate transactions, regulatory compliance, intellectual property matters, data privacy issues, employee benefits and executive compensation, and litigation, among other areas of law. We also represent companies that are the targets of PE buyouts.
Our team has experience across the investment life cycle and with companies of all sizes and from various industries. We regularly handle all types of transactions relevant to the PE industry including control transactions, minority investments, recapitalizations, and the sale of businesses in private-to-private transactions in the secondary PE market.
We frequently represent operating companies in a variety of industries in sales to PE. Our attorneys work as integrated teams, drawing on targeted industry knowledge from across the full spectrum of practice areas, to proactively spot opportunities and implement optimal solutions for companies involved in transactions.
We recognize that PE funds face business challenges that require comprehensive solutions, often going beyond mere legal advice. We are deeply ingrained in the investment and business communities across our national footprint. Our network helps enable clients to expand geographies and includes sources for acquisition targets that are ready for sale and those that are pursuing growth.
