Private Equity

Our strong relationships with all parties in the private equity ecosystem provide us with critical insight to develop creative approaches that guide our clients through successful transactions.

Overview

Our Private Equity attorneys represent companies interested in raising capital, as well as institutional and corporate private equity funds, in connection with their fundraising, governance, and investment activities. We also represent sponsors and investment managers, lead investors, family offices, and limited partners in the organization of investment vehicles and their related investments.

Our experience equips our attorneys with an understanding of industry trends and business realities that affect our clients. We also assist established and emerging private equity firms with the full range of their activities, including organization and fundraising, fund spin-outs and partner negotiations, due diligence investigations, and fiduciary and conflicts issues. While we routinely prepare and negotiate necessary documentation – including private placement memoranda, limited and general partnership agreements, and subscription materials – we also act as our client’s trusted business advisors that find holistic solutions to the issues affecting them.

We work closely with other experienced teams at AGG to provide advice to portfolio companies across all industry sectors. With a unique focus on healthcare, our Healthcare Private Equity team meets the specialized needs of private equity funds pursuing roll-up strategies within specific medical practices. We advise on more than 100 lower middle market transactions a year. Our integrated team approach leverages lean staffing and technology to deliver competitive pricing.

Because of the broad range of expertise our attorneys offer, we’re able to address all aspects of transactions, including tax, executive compensation, ERISA, labor, healthcare, intellectual property, and real estate law.
