Kirkland Advises Inflexion Private Equity on £2.5B Inflexion Buyout Fund VI

Kirkland & Ellis advised Inflexion on the formation of Inflexion Buyout Fund VI, which recently held its final closing at its £2.5 billion hard cap. The fund, which successfully raised more than double the prior fund, reflects investors’ conviction in Inflexion’s ability to continue its successful track record of addressing the growing private equity market opportunity in the UK and Europe.

Buyout Fund VI will focus on companies in the UK and Europe with an enterprise value of up to £1 billion across the core sectors of Business Services, Technology, Healthcare, Industrials, Consumer and Financial Services and will be complemented by Inflexion’s existing family of funds (including Partnership Capital, its dedicated minority investment fund, and Enterprise Fund, its lower mid-market buyout fund).
