A forum presented by the Private Equity Subcommittee of the IBA Corporate and M&A Law Committee and supported by the IBA Young Lawyers Committee

We are delighted to announce that this year’s Private Equity Transactions Symposium on Thursday 28 September 2023 in Knightsbridge London will be followed on the morning of Friday 29 September by the inaugural Young Lawyers Private Equity Forum, hosted at the offices of Slaughter and May.

The forum is designed to give up to 100 mid-level to senior corporate associates a deeper understanding of some of the technical and market drivers behind private equity transactions. Some of the sessions will include speakers from the main symposium and will borrow content from it. A full programme will be published nearer the time.

Thanks to our hosts for the forum, the cost of attendance is only £50 per delegate. However, delegates to the main symposium who register before the expiry of the early bird discount on 18 August 2023 will be able to nominate up to one associate from their firm who will be able to attend the forum free of charge.

The hope is that IBA Group Member firms and all our main symposium attendees, whether they be based in London, Continental Europe or further afield, will embrace this opportunity to engage a younger generation of lawyers in private equity transactions work. The sessions are designed help to ensure that delegates gain greater insights into some of the key structuring and legal challenges in this area and industry-specific issues. There will also be networking opportunities over an informal breakfast and lunch. The session will start at 8.30am and end at around 2.30pm.
