Dechert Advises Patria on Close of US$670M+ Secondary Opportunities Fund

Dechert advised Patria Investments on the successful close of its Secondary Opportunities Fund V (SOF V). The fund closed at more than US$670 million, exceeding its initial target by more than one-third with strong support from both existing and new investors.

SOF V focuses on hard-to-access private equity secondary opportunities in the European and North American mid-market. In addition to acting as fund counsel, Dechert has also advised SOF V on several attractive off-market investments and the fund continues to see a strong pipeline of opportunities.

Patria is a global alternative asset management firm focused on the mid-market segment, specializing in resilient sectors across select regions.

The Dechert team that advised Patria was led by Private Funds partner Sam Kay with partner Katie Carter, counsel Laurel Neale and associates Hannah MacDonald, Kirstin Giddy, Paolina Bajda and Clara Bostrom; and tax partner Mansi Seth with counsel Nicolas Kokkinos.
