Proskauer advises on many of the market’s most active and high-profile private equity transactions. From buyouts and minority investments to divestitures and strategic transactions, we help clients structure, negotiate, and execute deals with precision and commercial focus.

Our lawyers close more than 100 private equity transactions each year across key financial centers worldwide. Clients rely on us not only to get deals done, but to navigate what comes next.

We work alongside sponsors and their portfolio companies throughout the investment lifecycle, bringing integrated advice across practices and geographies as business needs evolve.

Clients need experienced lawyers who stay closely engaged and understand how private equity transactions actually move. Senior lawyers remain actively involved from the outset of a matter through execution, and the teams clients meet at the pitch stage are the teams leading the work day to day. Our lawyers collaborate across disciplines and geographies as one integrated team, helping clients anticipate issues early, move efficiently through transactions, and execute against evolving investment strategies with confidence.

Our transactional experience spans a broad range of industries, including business services, consumer and retail, entertainment, financial services, health care, infrastructure, life sciences, manufacturing, real estate, sports, technology, telecommunications, and hospitality.

Our practice and lawyers are regularly recognized by leading business and legal publications, including Chambers USA and The Legal 500, particularly in the private equity buyouts area. Our lawyers have also been recognized by Forbes, Private Equity Wire, Lawdragon, and Euromoney, including selection to Forbes’ inaugural America’s Top Women Lawyers list, Lawdragon’s “500 Leading Dealmakers in America,” and shortlist recognition for Euromoney’s The Americas Women in Business Law Award. We also appear in league tables published by Bloomberg, Mergermarket, PitchBook, The Deal, and Thomson Reuters for our work on private equity transactions.
