Secondary Transactions
Overview
Secondary transactions play a critical role in providing liquidity, managing portfolio exposure, and creating new investment opportunities.
Seward & Kissel’s Mergers & Acquisitions practice has significant experience structuring and negotiating both GP-led and investor-led secondary transactions, as well as fund restructurings.
We represent clients across a wide range of secondary transactions, including acquisitions and dispositions of equity and debt interests in underlying portfolio companies, end-of-life transactions, tender offers, direct secondaries, and deferred purchase and seller financing arrangements. Our attorneys understand the secondary market both as an exit path for existing investors and as a source of new investment opportunities.
Drawing on the firm’s broad investment management platform, we work closely with colleagues across related practice areas to address tax, ERISA, and securities law considerations that arise throughout a transaction. This integrated approach allows us to advise clients on prevailing market terms and to help them negotiate and close secondary transactions in a prompt, practical, and cost-efficient manner.
