From the Editors
A highly competitive environment places a premium on finding creative ways
to get deals done. Once those deals have consummated, there is often a need to
secure additional financing for add-on acquisitions through the proper structuring
of incremental debt. Strategies for debt (re)structuring are also relevant for
companies grappling with a liquidity crunch. And aside from the nuts and bolts
of transactions and financing, funds and companies must also contend with
ongoing regulatory emphasis on disclosure regarding a range of topics.

dealmaking, financing and disclosure pertinent to the private equity community:
