Our multidisciplinary team advised H.I.G. Capital, alongside McDermott Will & Schulte, on the successful fundraising of 'H.I.G. Europe Capital Partners IV', an oversubscribed European lower middle market private equity fund that closed with €1.6 billion in capital commitments.
With this final close, H.I.G. Capital further strengthens its established European private equity platform and differentiated investment strategy. 'H.I.G. Europe Capital Partners IV' will target investments in under-managed European lower middle market companies and support long-term value creation across the region.
We advised on key Luxembourg and cross-border aspects of the fund, including:
- Fund formation
- Fund tax
- Fund finance
The work was primarily coordinated from the firm's New York office, allowing the team to work closely with H.I.G. Capital in its time zone while collaborating seamlessly with colleagues in Luxembourg. This integrated New York–Luxembourg model enables efficient execution and fast decision-making for US-based sponsors raising and operating European funds.
