In the last 12 months we’ve been instructed on a strong flow of significant new fund launches and some of the biggest deals in the offshore market, including the largest ever fundraising by a European private equity firm. It’s our large, expert team that allows us to manage this scale of project while providing the excellent levels of service that we’re known for. Alex, Sally, Rachel and Faria are great additions to our team and we’re delighted to have them on board.”
