The ‘proactive and responsive’ team at Arendt & Medernach has ’extensive knowledge of the industry’ and provides ‘a business-oriented approach’ to a myriad of large global sponsors, including Bain Capital and Oaktree Capital, across the spectrum of work throughout the value chain, including on their downstream investment activity. Laurent Schummer’s work in the space runs the gamut from venture capital/growth capital mandates through to core private equity leveraged buyout (LBO) work for clients including Astorg – which he recently advised on a complex co-investment acquisition with Epiris of London-based Euromoney Institutional Investor. Pierre Beissel, who has excellent industry insight through his LPEA board membership, is also a prominent figure in much of the large-scale private equity-related transactional work handled by the team, as well as for restructuring and corporate governance. Adrian Aldinger heads the team.
