Industry Expertise

As the leveraged buyout boom settles, private equity firms face a new set of challenges. With large amounts of capital waiting to be deployed and intensifying deal competition, firms are finding it tougher and tougher to find attractive opportunities. Inexpensive debt and multiple arbitrage are no longer the likely path to driving returns.

As a result, private equity firms must become increasingly skilled at identifying and winning deals where there are opportunities to:

• Create operating value
• Improve strategic positioning, and
• Grow revenues and improve margins
