Sponsor-Led Transactions
We counsel independent sponsors and capital partners on every stage of the transaction lifecycle, from transaction structuring and capital raising to execution, governance, and exit outcomes.
Every independent sponsor knows the firm that bills as if it deserves a promote. We are everything that firm is not.
Sponsor Services
Deal
Execution
We handle all sponsor-side deal work from LOIs to closing. This includes purchase agreements, rollover structures, diligence, governance, and coordinated execution across sellers, capital partners, and lenders. Learn more about our leading M&A Practice.
Equity
Fundraising
Independent sponsors raise capital one transaction at a time. We structure and negotiate equity commitments, co-invest allocations, promote , fee arrangements, and investor rights so sponsor economics are preserved. Learn more about our Fund Formation Practice.
Sponsor
Economics
Your economics must be clear and defensible across every deal. We structure sponsor entities, promotes, carried interest, management equity, and fee streams to avoid dilution and disputes.
Debt
Financing
We understand that many independent sponsor deals require a coordinated debt package. We negotiate senior, mezzanine, or unitranche facilities, align covenants with the operating plan, and manage lender deliverables and timing.
On-going
Counseling
Sponsors operate lean. We provide ongoing, practical support across contracts, portfolio-company matters, add-ons, risk management, and templates so you can scale your deal flow efficiently. Learn more about our GC Services.
