Taylor Wessing has been recognised for its strength in Private Equity, having been shortlisted for Law Firm of the Year (deal structuring) at the 2011 British Private Equity Awards, hosted by unquote”.

The shortlist is agreed by a highly regarded advisory panel consisting of key decision makers, including senior members from Capital Dynamics, European Investment Fund, Swiss Re, ISIS and Hermes GPE.

Gaining a place on the shortlist for this award is testament to the growing success of the Private Equity team.  In recent years, Taylor Wessing's Private Equity practice has emerged as one of the largest dedicated private equity teams in the City, focused on the premier mid-market with a truly integrated pan-European leveraged buy-out offering.  It compliments and operates in tandem with our top-ranked Venture Capital practice.  While the venture capital and private equity components are clearly distinctive in their own right, the integrated practice allows the team to provide high-quality service to clients through all stages of the corporate lifecycle – from early-stage funding through refinancing and development capital, to buy-outs, restructuring and exits.

Winners will be announced on 22 September 2011.
