The publication of the ninth edition of the Private Equity Multi-jurisdictional guide (www.practicallaw.com/2-500-0008) brings together a range of information on current cross-border issues, country specific Q&A guides, and details of recommended private equity lawyers and law firms around the world.
In this year's guide we consider the conditions affecting private equity deals in emerging markets, using Turkey as a case study (www.practicallaw.com/9-517-8381). We also look at key terms for fund managers (www.practicallaw.com/8-517-8602) and the interaction between fund and management documentation.
The country-specific Q&A chapters (www.practicallaw.com/2-500-0008) provide practical and comparative information on private equity in 20 key jurisdictions - a valuable resource for any lawyer with clients operating in several jurisdictions. In particular, we focus on the level of activity and recent trends in the market; investment incentives for institutional and private investors; the mechanics involved in establishing a private equity fund; equity and debt finance issues in a private equity transaction; issues surrounding buyouts and the relationship between the portfolio company's managers and the private equity funds; management incentives; and exit routes from investments. Details on national private equity and venture capital associations are also included.
The PLC Which lawyer? section of the guide identifies the leading private equity market lawyers and law firms across 20 jurisdictions. This should be read in conjunction with the Lawyer profiles (www.practicallaw.com/2-500-0008) section, which contains more detailed biographies of private equity lawyers.
