Private Equity

The choice of legal advisor can truly be the difference between a successfully completed transaction and a frustrating and unsuccessful process.

Cederquist is one of the leading legal advisors for Private Equity sponsors on the Swedish market. With our extensive experience and cutting edge expertise, we regularly advise a large number of sponsors, from domestic mid-cap houses to international large-cap funds.

The Swedish Private Equity industry is large and mature, with well-established and sophisticated industry participants. In recent years, the Swedish market has seen an increasing competition from new domestic funds and more interest from international sponsors for deals in the Swedish market. At the same time, we have seen the regulatory framework becoming more complex, new innovative financing structures becoming commonplace and sponsors becoming more creative, all of which make the choice of deal lawyer ever so important.

In this rapidly changing market, the choice of legal advisor can truly be the difference between a successfully completed transaction and a frustrating and unsuccessful process. Cederquist’s Private Equity-team includes some of Sweden’s leading specialists whom in recent years have assisted sponsors in more transactions per partner than any other firm in Sweden. The team is comprised of experienced M&A-lawyers, supported by specialists used to assisting Private Equity sponsors with their special requirements and focus. In addition to the core M&A-lawyers, the Private Equity-team also includes leading lawyers in financecompetition law and financial regulatory, and further draw upon the firm’s specialists for other areas of law, as needed.

We assist clients on every aspect through the entire deal-cycle, from platform acquisitions, add-on acquisitions, recapitalizations and incentive programs through dispositions and exits. Over the past years, we have had the privilege to assist clients in most types of industries, including a large number of transactions in regulated areas, such as financial services, insurance, infrastructure and welfare, often times where the advice is tested and new ground has been broken.
