Oven-ready portfolio companies: why private equity loves public to private

Wednesday 17 September (1610 - 1650)

Description

As market volatility and regulatory shifts continue to challenge listed companies, public to privates (P2Ps) are emerging as attractive opportunities for both private equity (PE) sponsors and target boards and shareholders alike. With momentum building, a clear grasp of deal dynamics and the ability to advise clients on the latest technical and structural developments is now an essential part of the PE lawyer’s toolkit. Join our expert panel for a lively, market-focused discussion on the key trends driving P2P activity in the US and Europe, and the implications for legal teams supporting these transactions.
