[QUOTE="CharlesT47, post: 223111, member: 41021"] [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] Or anyone for that matter. Could someone explain whether there is a structured finance element in PE? I'm trying to understand the main differences between Kirkland and Weil and one clear point is that Kirkland doesn't have nearly as strong of a securitisation/ structured finance capabilities though is trying to build that out. My question is why would Kirkland want to do this? I don't think Kirkland is trying to challenge the big dogs like Milbank or Paul Hastings who dominate the instituional bank side. Are they trying to build into the CLO manager side? Or is structured finance an important part of PE? The only way I can see this if the PE firm that Kirkland is advising on needs some kind of mezzanine funding, which in my mind seems rarer than other types of funding. Alternatively, if someone has insight into what Weil's structured finance team actually does (i.e is it a strong practice area or merely complementary to PE) that would be so helpful. I feel like it isn't a main practice area? Maybe complementary to restructuring? But again I have no clue. [/QUOTE]
