Mourant Ozannes, working alongside lead Counsel Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, has advised private equity and investment advisory firm CVC Capital Partners on the launch of its seventh flagship fund for private equity investment in Europe and North America – CVC Capital Partners VII.
The fund closed with a hard cap of approximately €15.5bn – said to be the largest fundraising by a European private equity firm – and received commitments from more than 300 investors based primarily in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
The Mourant Ozannes team was led by Partner Felicia de Laat and Senior Associates Rachel Fowler and Matt McManus, with assistance from colleagues in the funds, finance and corporate and other teams.
