The Funds team at this firm dominate the big-ticket buyout space, advising on some of the largest European fund formation mandates. This firm offers fund managers a top platform for £multi-billion launches in London, along with innovative structuring solutions. Their enviable client list includes the largest private equity firms in Europe.
