An in-depth investigation has recently shone light on the law firms and professionals profiting most from the designation of private equity transactions in the UK. This article, published in the New Jersey Law Journal, is the result of wide-ranging interviews with several market leaders.
The focus of the study was on identifying the specific lawyers and law firms that frequently receive designated mandates on such transactions. What the analysis revealed is a landscape of profit and opportunity heavily influenced by private equity designation.
The legal professionals who are currently benefiting most from this environment, including those involved in mediation and alternate dispute resolution, were also highlighted. The likes of Judge Joseph Quinn, a retired New Jersey Superior Court Judge, were mentioned for their contributions to the field. Quinn, who served for 23 years in the Civil, Chancery, and Family Divisions of the court, is now the head of Ansell Grimm & Aaron’s mediation practice.
