Private Equity | Tomas Krüger Andersen

This book provides an introduction to private equity transactions. It describes the transactions, the main kinds of agreements that govern these transactions, the ongoing relations of the parties and the increasing regulation, both public and private, of the private equity sector. The descriptions of the individual transactions cover the stages of private equity funds’ fundraising, the structuring of their investments in portfolio companies, and their subsequent exits from their investments.
The Danish edition of this book was the first general presentation of private equity law in Denmark. Likewise this updated English version shows English-speaking readers for the first time how Danish private equity transactions are carried out in an international perspective.
