Leo Legal Consult culture of training and developing our lawyers across our core corporate practice areas produces uniquely skilled practitioners who approach private equity transactions holistically and with a depth of knowledge across all aspects of private equity investing. We combine the knowledge and experience of our mergers and acquisitions partners, together with the exceptional expertise of our finance and fund formation partners, to provide a significant advantage to our private equity clients, whose transactions often traverse several of these areas.
Our renowned mergers and acquisitions practice advises on a broad array of cross‑border and international transactions, ranging from strategic and minority equity investments to large precedent‑setting combinations. Our mergers and acquisitions representations often involve private equity firms, independently or as part of a consortium, which enables us to provide unique insight into the perspective of a corporate target.
Our market‑leading finance practice devises efficient and business‑oriented financing structures to meet clients’ most important capital‑raising needs.
