Arendt & Medernach acted as Luxembourg counsel to The Carlyle Group in connection with the final closing of Carlyle Japan Partners V, its fifth Japanese buyout fund.

Arendt & Medernach acted as Luxembourg counsel to The Carlyle Group in connection with the final closing of Carlyle Japan Partners V (“CJP V”), its fifth Japanese buyout fund, raising JPY 430 billion (approximately USD 2.8 billion [1]), which is inclusive of commitments from the General Partner and its affiliates. Due to strong demand and backing from, both Japanese and global investors, CJP V hit its hard cap on limited partner commitments raising nearly 70% more than the size of its predecessor fund. This marks the largest fundraise for a Japan-focused buyout strategy fund, according to data from Preqin [2].
