Private Equity
Private equity law is a specialized area of legal practice that focuses on the formation, structuring, management, and regulation of private equity funds and investments. These funds pool capital from institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and other sources to invest in privately held companies, public-to-private transactions, or other strategic ventures. Legal guidance in this space is crucial because private equity transactions are often complex, cross-border, and subject to strict regulatory frameworks.
At Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, we combine global expertise with deep regional knowledge to help our clients navigate every stage of a private equity transaction. Our legal teams advise fund sponsors on fund formation, regulatory compliance, and investment strategy while supporting investors on due diligence, risk management, and exit planning.
