Global Private Equity

Insight and skill 


With private equity transactions, there are challenges and opportunities every step of the way — from fund structuring and formation through to deploying capital and ultimately implementing an exit strategy. Add in cross-border transactions and complexities grow dramatically.

At Baker & McKenzie we have the experience and scope to help you navigate complexity with ease and confidence. We know you need advisers who understand more than legal requirements and investment options. Our lawyers appreciate the diverse interests of different players in a private equity deal, the dynamics of the private equity investment life cycle as well as other intangibles of value creation. We understand that adding value to private equity mandates means not only having cutting edge, multidisciplinary technical skills, but also commercial sophistication, specialized industry knowledge, authentic local connections, top quality project management skills and a global perspective.

With support from a global network of legal resources, we can quickly mobilize and integrate multidisciplinary teams to seamlessly execute cross-border transactions. We make complex issues simple and manageable, delivering pragmatic advice to match your business needs. It’s a value our clients notice and appreciate.

Among the best measures of our standing in the global private equity market are the deals we have worked on and the clients who engage us. View our representative transactions.
