October 2, 2019 (London) – International law firm Proskauer has been voted Law Firm of the Year in Fund Structuring at this year’s Unquote Private Equity Awards in London.

With hundreds of entries each year, the awards recognise the contribution of the private equity to the growth of British business. The Proskauer team was noted for its depth and breadth of expertise and standout global practice.

Nigel van Zyl, partner and co-head of the Private Funds Group, comments, “This award means so much to us as it is voted for by the industry and would not have been possible without our clients who continue to trust us with their strategic and innovative projects and fundraisings. I’m extremely proud of our team, their commitment and commercial agility. This award comes on the back of the team being named Law Firm of the Year in Europe for Fund Formation by Private Equity International."

Our team consistently ranks as a top-tier practice in leading industry publications, including as one of the top five “most active law firms” for sponsor-side fund formations.
