Private Equity round table: “LBOs: widespread availability of financing could encourage a new dynamic”

Ségolène Dufétel, Corporate & Securities partner, took part in the round table “Les rencontres d’Experts” for the special LBO edition of Magazine des Affaires, which focused on “LBOs: widespread availability of financing could encourage a new dynamic”. This was an opportunity to discuss current developments in private equity market with renowned speakers.

Excerpt (translated from French): “After three years of Covid and a quieter, more selective 2023, could the market be regaining the momentum of recent decades? One thing is certain: financing is back, whatever the size of the transaction. In fact, the biggest LBO ever is currently being negotiated, and several large-scale deals are also being considered. But not all companies and not all sectors are eligible for these deals, because of the lack of current trading. Far from being acyclical, this industry must constantly rethink itself and find new ways to create value if it is to remain the best-performing of all asset classes over the long term.”
