Our Global LBO Handbook consists of 28 individual country guides, each answering 20 questions that are top-of-mind for private equity executives who may be considering a leveraged buyout for the first time in the countries included.
The country guides address fundamental issues involved in navigating the complexities of the buyout process in each country, including structuring and financing practices, employment law issues, insolvency procedures and local tax regimes.
The Handbook draws on the extensive knowledge and experience of Baker & McKenzie’s global network of private equity lawyers. It provides a truly useful and valuable resource for private equity executives who need a simple yet informative summary of key issues relevant to their assessment of a buyout opportunity in an unfamiliar jurisdiction.
The Handbook discusses structuring and regulatory issues in the following countries:
- Asia Pacific: Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan
- Europe and the Middle East: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom
- Latin America: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela

The handbook has received an overwhelmingly positive reaction from those who have used it. It is informative, user-friendly and pitched at the right level for those who operate in the private equity industry.
Mark McNamara, chairperson of our Global Private Equity Practice commented on the handbook: "The handbook is a unique product for the private equity industry and is evidence of the value which Baker & McKenzie brings to its clients.
