Weil Private Equity Sponsor Sync

First Quarter 2025 Issue

The first Sponsor Sync of 2025 breaks more new ground. This quarter, we feature our first ever issue-within-an-issue, The Business of Sponsors. This issue’s highlights include our quarterly update on leveraged finance, cutting-edge market insights on 2024 deal terms and 2025 predictions (powered by Weil’s proprietary DealVision 360 platform), an exploration of co-op agreements in “lender-on-lender violence” transactions, and a practical explanation of arbitration versus courts for dispute provisions in SPAs.

Our special feature, The Business of Sponsors, looks at the challenges and intricacies of running a financial investor and navigating the tricky landscape of asset management, delving into topics like earn-outs in asset manager M&A, exec compensation issues on continuation vehicles, and “dual hat” fiduciary duties for those of you who act for a sponsor and a director of a business. This issue of Sponsor Sync is your essential guide to navigating the evolving private equity landscape in 2025 and key to staying informed and staying ahead.
