SJ Berwin is at the forefront of developments in the secondaries market. Secondary acquisitions of both direct investments and fund participations continue to be a growth area for large, sophisticated private equity transactions, and as we predicted, are now a permanent feature of the private equity landscape. 

The secondaries market plays to the key strengths of SJ Berwin's pan-European private equity team, as it combines the talents of both our leading M&A and funds lawyers and gives us a niche advisory position in the secondaries market.

We are delighted to have worked with all the leading secondary players in Europe, both establishing funds to acquire secondary private equity interests, and in doing the deals themselves, advising on the legal, tax and regulatory issues that arise in the structuring and fundraising process.
