Lexology In-Depth: Private Equity
Akin investment management partners Skye Smith and Bob Griffin, corporate partner Wael Jabsheh, investment management counsel Safal Ahluwalia, and corporate counsel Syed Rizvi have contributed to the latest edition of Lexology In‑Depth: Private Equity (formerly The Private Equity Review).
The guide offers a practical overview of the market climate and the regulatory framework governing private equity transactions, with a particular focus on recent trends and developments shaping deal activity.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) chapter, authored by the Akin team, examines the legal and commercial considerations relevant to private equity fundraising in the region, including the structuring of funds, regulatory and marketing requirements for sponsors, as well as key issues and trends affecting fundraising and investor negotiations.
The authors highlight that, “Private equity fundraising and fund formation in the UAE is expected to remain active but increasingly shaped by the scale and behavior of institutional capital. This dual role—as both a source of institutional capital and an operating base for global sponsors—continues to distinguish the UAE from other emerging private equity markets.”
