“As predicted, the thawing of the dealmaking environment over the course of 2024 has resulted in a significant uptick in deal flow, which we expect to continue through the end of the year and into 2025,” said Chris Sheaffer, global vice-chair of Reed Smith’s Private Equity Group. “The performance of our global private equity practice in PitchBook and other league tables is evidence that our adaptive, strategic and focused approach to advising our PE fund clients and their portfolio companies is making real and significant inroads in the market.”
