Our specialist team of multi-disciplinary lawyers have a wealth of experience in acting for management teams who are seeking to invest in owner managed businesses and/or who are seeking private equity funding.
We provide a complete solution to enable management teams to seamlessly navigate through the investment journey, including advising on, initial investment planning, bespoke management incentive plans, employee arrangements and the investment terms.
We have a highly experienced tax team and specialist management incentives team, including dual-qualified solicitors and chartered tax advisors who are well versed in advising management teams on tax planning, favourable incentivisation structures and optimisation in private equity transactions.
Our experience of acting for financial sponsors and management teams allows us to have an excellent understanding of the private equity market, ensuring we are commercial, pragmatic and up-to-date, whilst protecting the interests of the management team. We strive to ensure we achieve the best deal for management teams whist preserving a strong working relationship with the sponsor.
