Jones Day - Services - Private Equity

Jones Day regularly represents a wide variety of private equity funds. Our practice includes the representation of both large and small private equity investors at each stage of the investment cycle; our expanding private equity client base includes venture capital funds, later-stage funds, and distressed funds; and we assist private equity investors in evaluating, structuring, negotiating, and consummating hundreds of private equity transactions each year. Our private equity lawyers function in three areas: leveraged buyouts, venture capital, and fund formation. Jones Day is one of the leading international law firms in the area of leveraged buyout transactions, has pioneered the development of various acquisition and financing techniques for these transactions, and has engineered a variety of these transactions in a wide array of industries. Our Venture Capital Practice involves investments in situations ranging from early-stage companies to growth companies, along with exit transactions as investments mature. Our fund formation lawyers possess extensive experience in organizing private equity funds and have represented numerous fund sponsors in their capital-raising efforts in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, as well as lead investors.

To best represent our private equity clients, Jones Day also draws upon all areas of our practices. Our banking and finance lawyers regularly serve on teams representing borrowers and lenders in private equity acquisitions with broad experience in senior bank lending and all forms of mezzanine finance. Our corporate finance lawyers are active participants in the market for "high yield" securities to support private equity acquisitions. Our business restructuring and reorganization lawyers are regularly involved in new and innovative acquisition and financing structures for distressed companies. Our tax and employee benefits lawyers play a major role in structuring leveraged acquisitions and management equity programs, respectively. Our intellectual property, real estate, labor, antitrust, and environmental lawyers are regularly enlisted to assist in acquisition and investment due diligence and to advise on the results of such due diligence.
