Senior associates Paula Pérez-Ardá (Madrid) and Arijeet Mukherjee (London) have been recognised among Law.com International's Rising Stars of Private Equity 2025 list.

The list recognises the most talented Europe-based individuals (including the UK) under the age of 40 working in private equity. Individuals were assessed on several criteria, including the ability to build and lead key client relationships; the scale and complexity of the deals they've led recently; how others in the market view them; and their wider contributions to both the profession and their firm.

Paula was praised for her ability to bridge technical expertise with business objectives under time pressure, known for her pragmatic style and positive attitude. The recognition noted her advising Igneo Infrastructure Partners on the acquisition of ENSO Group from Tikehau Capital.

Arijeet was commended for his legal acumen and entrepreneurial mindset, securing his place as a trusted adviser with his steady demeanour and clarity under pressure. He was applauded for his role advising Waterland Private Equity on the auction sale of Cooper Parry to Lee Equity Partners.
