[QUOTE="J Wu, post: 5170, member: 544"] Went to a presentation evening at Kirkland yesterday and the corporate partner who delivered a session on private equity (PE) made a few very interesting points that I thought I'd share. - PE plays a notable role in shaping many of the businesses involved in our daily lives, both at home and in the wider world. Many well-known brands and businesses (e.g. Canada Goose, Pret a Manger, Slug & Lettuce, Odeon, Tommy Hilfiger) are all PE-backed. PE's influence also extends into many unseen areas, such as within the development of new technologies that form parts of innovative technologies and products we will see in the future. - PE transactions are incredibly complex and PE firms often have a very lean staffing model, which foregrounds the importance of law firms as their advisers throughout the PE life cycle from cradle to grave. - Regarding sponsor-side clients, PE transactions are their bread and butter; it is what they do everyday. This allows for repeat business from these clients and creates a consistent revenue stream for law firms who will have a good level of deal flow and, given the complexity of PE which requires many practice areas (corporate, debt finance, restructuring, real estate, tax - the list goes on), this deal flow provides opportunities across many practice areas. - Drawing on his own experience, something he found fulfilling about private equity was helping businesses and their owners through a developmental and transformational journey, where he was involved in the day-to-day transformation process and not just the headline parts. (He also mentions many of qualities discussed in the Legal Week article). These are just some points I found particularly interesting, but I'd be keen to hear about what other people think! [/QUOTE]
