Breakout session six - The future of private equity: evaluating and improving legal structures in Latin America

Description

Private equity is at the forefront of shaping industries, driving innovation and creating value. This session will explore the future landscape of private equity, examining key trends such as the growing importance of environmental, social and governance (ESG), the impact of digital transformation and shifting investment strategies in response to global economic pressures. We will evaluate positive and negative experiences of private equity funds in Latin America, identifying successful practices and challenges faced, as well as how private equity firms are adapting to an increasingly competitive market, the rise of alternative assets and the evolving relationship between private equity and public markets.

Attendees will gain insights into how private equity will continue to reshape industries and influence corporate strategies in the coming years, in addition to how counsel can improve legal and contractual structures to mitigate risks and optimise operational efficiency.
