Testimonials

Great overview of the legal elements and processes of an investment.  It has enabled me to link together the procedure and analyse the repercussions of what is agreed at the start of the deal.

Luis Pisco, Hudson Capital Management)

One the most practical courses out there; Representatives from various law firms provide different views of what is market practice. It was also extremely useful having people from different PE/VC firms discuss their specific experiences when negotiating legal documents.
(Tom Matthews, Sovereign Capital)

An Excellent way to expand and refresh your Private Equity legal knowledge.
