2024 will mark four years since the start of Covid-19, and a dramatic WFH "experiment". This period was a catalyst for change in how we use and view the office. Add to this, ESG, a changing tech sector and rising interest rates and the debate around the office is very different today than what it was four years ago. Offices will continue to dominate the debate in 2024 and so I am looking forward to joining the conversation next week with CREFC Europe. #offices #officespace #development #funding #yields #employeegrowth

Good connecting with so many at the ACG conference. For newbies, what is Dealsource North? These are regular conferences held around North America to connect private equity firms (who want to buy great businesses) with investment bankers like me (who are representing and finding good partners for great businesses). It leaves everyone involved with lots of insights around the types of businesses for sale, market dynamics, multiples and lots more.

Handler Looking forward to moderating the Venture Capital trends panel where we will discuss private capital trends and family offices investments in VC, PE and Private Credit next week with Trey Ward of R7 and @Sean O’Sullivan of SOSV Thanks HUB International and Anthony Hernandez for all the support and bringing like minded people together. #privatecapital #familyoffice #LOUDcapital #venturecapital #privatecapital #privatecredit

Lots of food for thought from the Alternative Funds Summit organised earlier this week by Kirkland & Ellis and Houlihan Lokey, with the panel on GP stakes being particularly topical in the context of some sizable deals announced recently. This has been a pretty well-established practice in the US for some time now, but the consensus was that appetite is growing to take on this kind of investment among European firms. Unsurprisingly this is driven in large part by some of the success stories we’ve seen across the pond, encouraging senior partners to consider selling a stake, but we also heard that this is sometimes being instigated by the younger generation, looking towards succession planning and securing the next growth phase of the business. A question remains over what this means for consolidation in the private equity sector longer-term; particularly around how, and how fast, this is going to happen, and how many of the roughly 11,000 GP sponsors active today will still be around in ten years' time. Thanks Joseph Anthony Lombardo, Andrew Laurino, GURJIT KAMBO, Lavon-Krein Daniel and James King for sharing your insights. #privateequity #investing #privatemarkets

Tomorrow, Jason Zemmel will lead this panel at the Mergermarket Annual M&A and Private Equity Forum Europe where they will explore the current landscape of the UK private equity market. #cmslaw #cmsprivateequity

There are so many more ways than most owners realize to structure the sale of their business and help achieve their most important goals. Attention Trusted Advisors - this is going to be good. XPX Atlanta is bringing in advisors to discuss last month’s 𝘉𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘖𝘸𝘯𝘦𝘳’𝘴 𝘖𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘖𝘸𝘯 𝘌𝘹𝘪𝘵 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮 — where we heard from 3 owners about their 3 very non-traditional exits — so that you can gain a deeper understanding of these and other types of unconventional deals. Our panelists will be David Burdette (Applied Economics) and Tim Templeton (Trivest Partners), moderated by David Shavzin of The Value Track (https://lnkd.in/e6driBS). Here are a few key deal structure options we’ll cover along with variations on these approaches. As always, we will include time for Q&A and our signature roundtable discussions. • ESOPs • Private Equity • Investment Banking/Corporate Buyout 𝘑𝘰𝘪𝘯 𝘶𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘶𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴!

We discussed a wide range of highly relevant topics at our practical workshops in London earlier this week- key points: - Hiring practices: Navigating privacy rules when undertaking comprehensive background checks of candidates; legal/compliance considerations when providing references for former employees - Challenges in EMIR Refit implementation (expanded transaction reporting requirements, report standardisation,... ): reminder to build in sufficient time for pre-go-live testing where major changes to reporting frameworks are made - Governance: Fund board effectiveness, succession planning, shadow boards, how a fund manager can get the most out of their board, important reminder: governance goes beyond ticking compliance boxes! - Trade errors and insurance: Key considerations for managers negotiating contractual arrangements, key questions for investors to ask in due diligence to assess coverage. The last topic also featured in the SBAI's recent publication: Trade Errors, Omissions, & Breaches - Pursuing Operational Excellence: https://lnkd.in/engt6UFM Looking forward to the next workshop today on "Winning and Keeping Institutional Mandates".
