Our lawyers understand the dynamics and value drivers of a private equity transaction.

AKD's Private Equity team enjoys a strong reputation in the mid-market segment and counts various private equity funds, venture capital funds and large single-family offices among its clients, advising them on investments, exits, management participations and W&I aspects. A full-service approach enables the team to advise on all aspects of a transaction, and with AKD's in-house civil-law notaries and tax advisers standing by, our assistance covers the entire transaction process, from start to closing.

Clients are highly appreciative of our integrated Leveraged Finance team, which has vast experience in structuring and negotiating acquisition financing.

We assist our clients in a variety of investments, including:

  • Cross-border M&A
  • Leveraged buyouts
  • Bankruptcy and other distressed M&A asset acquisition
  • Carve-out transactions
  • Consortium bidding

AKD acts in platform deals as well as add-on acquisitions, both in the Netherlands and abroad.

In addition to being mandated by buying or selling PE funds, we regularly act for founders making a partial or full exit to private equity.  

Impartial appreciation
The Private Equity team has been recognised for years by Chambers Europe, Chambers Global, Legal 500 and IFLR, and has won several awards over the years.
