Partnering with Private Equity for In-House Counsel: Understanding the Governance and Exit Playbook

In Today’s world, partnering with Private Equity is an increasingly common occurrence. And as in-house counsel, we are often key players in the formation and execution of those relationships. In the rapidly evolving private equity landscape, in-house counsel must have the foresight and expertise to guide and navigate the business through the private equity journey.

Join us on Tuesday, February 6, 2024 at 12pm ET / 9am PT for the next edition of our IHC Fundamentals Series, as Carla Ruggero, Eric Schaffer and Neil Barlow of Clifford Chance will discuss the governance structures, contractual nuances, and common scenarios that are essential for in-house counsel to navigate the complexities of private equity investments.
