About Ice Miller LLP
This listing covers the Independent Sponsors team at Ice Miller LLP. The team represents independent sponsors across their transactions, including acquisitions, equity raises, and financing on the borrower side. It also represents SBIC funds, private equity funds, and other institutional capital firms that provide funding to independent sponsors. The team advises through the life of an independent sponsor deal: formation and structuring, capital raising, negotiating economics with capital providers, the acquisition, corporate governance, and the exit. Its lawyers work on how an independent sponsor transaction differs from a funded sponsor deal, and on what sponsors, capital providers, and the sellers of a business each have to work through to close. The firm's Private Equity Group makes middle market transactions its focus.
