Drawing upon 'excellent technical knowledge', BSP is appreciated by clients for its ability 'to quickly assess and analyse requirements and provide real-world solutions' across a range of operational corporate governance and transactional matters. Under the leadership of Linda Harroch, the team has, however, undoubtedly gained most prominence among private equity firms, including Advent International and Goldman Sachs, in relation to their M&A transactions. Michaël Kitai is also a key member of the team and is the primary contact for the Goldman Sachs work.
