Arendt advises Astorg on next-generation ownership transition

Experts involved in the Deal

Arendt is pleased to have acted as lead counsel to Astorg, a leading independent European mid-cap LBO specialist, in connection with a significant internal restructuring of its ownership structure. The transaction sees 16 partners acquire a 23.5% stake from founding and senior partners, bringing the next generation’s combined shareholding close to 50% of the firm’s capital.

This carefully structured succession transaction preserves Astorg’s full independence, ensuring that the next generation of partners retains meaningful equity participation and alignment of interests with the firm’s investors.

Arendt advised Astorg across all corporate law, tax, regulatory and financing aspects of the transaction. This mandate further reinforces Arendt’s position as a leading law firm for private equity managers navigating sophisticated governance, succession and ownership restructuring matters.
