Private equity firms operate in a highly nuanced and dynamic world, with regulations, opportunities, and roadmaps for success that differ from other industries and sectors.

Our expertise in serving a wide range of private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies throughout each investment phase gives our clients confidence in an extremely competitive, fast moving, and often-unforgiving world.
What We Do
Pryor Cashman’s Private Equity practice focuses on middle-market transactions and works with nearly every type of stakeholder across the private equity investment spectrum. Representing buyout firms, family offices, financial sponsors, management, limited partners, lenders, placement agents, and portfolio companies, among others, we bring the vision and insight to turn our clients’ dreams into reality.
We regularly advise on leveraged buyouts, co-investments, joint ventures, dispositions, debt and equity financings, “club” deals, and leveraged recapitalizations, as well as M&A transactions between private equity firms and their related companies. Drawing on key resources and practices across our firm, we offer holistic solutions to our private equity clients that consider the potential tax, financing, ownership, compensation, human capital, and restructuring implications of every deal.
Serving Private Equity Around the Globe
Cross-border private equity deals present unique issues due to differing legal and regulatory standards in each jurisdiction. Our non-exclusive membership in Interlaw, a worldwide network of independent law firms that have been recognized by Chambers Global as a Global Elite Law Firm Network, combined with the firm's extensive international experience enables us to work seamlessly with the top firms in every country and ensure that no opportunity is lost to our clients.
