Private Equity

Ballard Spahr’s private equity lawyers have extensive experience advising sponsors and dealmakers in private equity investment transactions. Our law firm brings a deep understanding of the unique issues and complexities in structuring and completing private equity transactions to each client engagement.

Our attorneys counsel financial sponsors, such as buyout funds, mezzanine funds, venture capital funds, high-net worth investors, portfolio companies, management groups, and lenders on a variety of private equity matters. We represent the portfolio companies of private equity funds in matters ranging from add-on acquisitions, borrowing, refinancing, and recapitalization to executive compensation, employee benefits, real estate, and litigation.

In addition, our private equity attorneys represent fund investors, such as endowment funds, foundations, pension plans, and family trusts in matters involving their investments in private equity funds. Finally, we represent hedge funds and other pooled investment vehicles in all aspects of their operations, including regulatory and compliance obligations.
