For many, 2010 will be the year that private equity shakes off its economic hangover and starts to take stock of the new world order in which it now operates. Debt is harder to come by, regulation is on the rise and mega-buyouts are on the decline. Increasingly, private equity firms will be looking to their general counsel to provide guidance and strengthen portfolio structures in a more risk-conscious landscape.

Now in its fourth year, Private Equity Forum 2010 will once again unite the most senior in-house and private practice lawyers in the European private equity market. Expect to gain practical information to strengthen your business over the forthcoming year, including the following key topics:

• Macroeconomic analysis and its real impact on the private equity market
• New thinking in the field of fund structuring
• Likely regulatory changes and their impact, including the AIFM Directive and SEC registration
• Strengthening the fund administrator/GC relationship
• Planning for a sustainable business environment and capitalising on investment opportunities
• The latest thinking on tax and employment law set to impact your role as GC
