European private equity firm EQT has engaged the legal services of White & Case for assistance in two significant mergers and acquisitions deals. These transactions unfold against the backdrop of shifting trade tariffs. One of the highlighted deals includes EQT’s agreement with KKR, another private equity giant, to sell Stockholm-based healthcare company Karo for approximately $2.6 billion. Karo’s portfolio features well-known brands such as E45 moisturizers and Lamisil athlete’s foot treatment. Notably, KKR’s legal guidance came from Kirkland & Ellis, including seasoned advisers Alvaro Mebrillero and Ian Barratt. This development indicates a strategic move by EQT to capitalize on its investments amidst a fluctuating market landscape.
