Private Equity

In the fast-paced world of Private Equity, success is often defined by the ability to manage risk and maximize value in complex financial environments. Whether navigating a distressed acquisition, managing the restructuring of a portfolio company, or litigating fiduciary duty claims, Private Equity firms require legal counsel that understand the intersection of finance, operations, and the law.

Gartland Thacker DelCotto PLLC serves as a strategic advisor to PE funds, portfolio companies, and stakeholders. We provide the sophisticated legal framework necessary to protect investments and execute complex exits. Our Firm is particularly adept at handling “special situations” where financial distress or inter-creditor disputes require a steady hand and aggressive advocacy.

Our team provides comprehensive counsel on key issues affecting Private Equity stakeholders, including:

• Distressed Acquisitions & 363 Sales – We represent PE firms looking to acquire or sell assets through the bankruptcy process, ensuring a clean ‘free and clear’ title and a maximized competitive position in Section 363 auctions.
• Portfolio Company Restructurings – We advise on out-of-court workouts and formal reorganizations (both in SubV and standard chapter 11 cases) to stabilize underperforming assets, preserve enterprise value, and protect the fund’s position among all the other stakeholders.
• Fiduciary Duties & Corporate Governance – Our Firm provides high-level counsel to fund managers and board members regarding their fiduciary obligations during insolvency or high-stakes transactions to mitigate the risk of “insider” or “successor liability” claims.
• Debt Restructuring & Inter-creditor Disputes – We navigate complex capital stacks, negotiating with senior and mezzanine lenders to restructure debt and clear the path for future growth or exit.
• Strategic Litigation – We represent PE interests in complex commercial litigation, including fraudulent transfer defense, preference actions, and breach of contract disputes within the portfolio.
