As private equity investors search for opportunities in an increasingly crowded market, Europe has emerged as a fertile environment. The pace of European deal making has increased in recent years and months, and France in particular has enjoyed a rise in investment and buyout activity, becoming a leading destination for private equity investments on the continent.
In Paris, Goodwin is an undisputed leader in the private equity market, advising major industrial groups, family-owned companies, investment funds, startups, credit institutions, debt providers and management teams on the full spectrum of deal types including buyouts, growth equity investments, minority and co-investments, and other types of private equity transactions.
The team excels in domestic and cross-border mandates and has deep experience handling complex, large-scale transactions.
As such we are routinely involved in the most strategic mid-market and upper mid-market transactions. We have a proven track record of advising market-leading names on market-shaping deals in the transactional space in France.
Our practice also includes specialist lawyers from tax, debt finance, restructuring and other fields, all working together on private equity transactions.
