Our Practice Areas

KCA’s global private equity practice provides comprehensive guidance to private equity firms and their portfolio companies, covering all aspects of private equity investments. Our clients range from traditional leveraged buyout funds and real estate, credit, and hedge funds to newer and non-traditional players in the private equity sector, including pension plans, family offices, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds. We also offer expertise in transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and private investments in public equity (PIPEs).

At KCA, our commitment to training and developing lawyers across core corporate practice areas results in well-rounded professionals who bring a holistic approach to private equity transactions. Our team combines the extensive knowledge of mergers and acquisitions experts with the specialized experience of our finance, investment management, and funds partners. This collaboration provides a competitive edge for our private equity clients, whose deals often span multiple areas of expertise.

Our highly regarded mergers and acquisitions practice advises on a wide range of cross-border and international transactions, from strategic and minority equity investments to landmark, precedent-setting deals. With significant experience working with private equity firms, either independently or in consortiums, we offer unique insights into corporate target perspectives.

Our leading finance practice designs efficient, business-oriented financing structures tailored to meet clients' most critical capital-raising needs. While not all matters involve complex, multicurrency, or multijurisdictional financings, our private equity clients benefit from our lawyers' deep understanding of market trends and innovative financing strategies.

In addition, clients gain from KCA’s exceptional expertise in antitrust, intellectual property, tax, regulatory enforcement, and compliance issues.
