Private Equity
A&L Goodbody's Private Equity group is recognised as the leader in Ireland. Clients value our deep experience of acting for both PE acquirers and vendors, our sectoral knowledge and our familiarity with typical PE debt and equity financing structures. At the group's core is a team of experts drawn from corporate, finance, funds and tax together with support from all of the firm's key practice groups.
We cover the full cycle of investment advisory services:
Our corporate team works closely with our finance, tax, and funds experts and clients benefit from their combined experience and understanding of the fund-raising, fund structuring, financing, buyout and restructuring market.
We have extensive experience of working with the majority of the leading Irish and international PE funds (and their international lawyers) both in relation to primary and secondary transactions and across a wide range of industries.
