In this highly deal-driven environment, ADVANT Altana advises many of Europe’s leading private equity players on all aspects of their deal pipeline, as well as supports a range of businesses receiving private equity investment.
In particular, we are recognized for our unparalleled expertise in providing legal assistance on private equity mid-cap transactions.

Our clients include major international and national (across European jurisdictions) private equity firms and funds, family offices, family-owned companies and their shareholders, as well as other financial investors.
We advise on all aspects of the acquisition or sale of companies, groups of companies or business units, as well as issues such as fund formation, leveraged buy-outs, management buy-outs/buy-ins, going-private transactions, spin-offs, distressed transactions, portfolio strategies, cross-border deals, transaction-related disputes, and ESG in private equity, among many others.
Specifically in the venture capital and start-up funding space, we have extensive experience advising on issues such as co-investment and minority stakes, growth financing (including convertible and bridge loans), and support with both early- and late-stage fundraising rounds. We are widely regarded for developing innovative solutions to meet the needs of our venture capital clients, based on our extensive experience.
