Kirkland Advises Springcoast Partners on Close of Inaugural Funds with $750 Million in Capital Commitments
Kirkland & Ellis advised Springcoast Partners, a growth equity firm focused on making minority investments in scaled software and technology companies, on the close of its debut fund, Springcoast Partners I (together with its parallel funds, Fund I), at its hard cap of $525 million. Including co-investment vehicles, the firm raised $750 million in connection with Fund I’s strategy, bringing total assets under management to over $1.5 billion, as of December 31, 2025. With its first commingled fund, Springcoast is building a concentrated portfolio designed to deliver tighter dispersion of returns than traditional growth equity strategies.
The Kirkland team included investment funds lawyers Dan McQuade and Nathan Howe; tax lawyer Chris Odell; investment funds regulatory lawyers Nabil Sabki and Mac Laban; and ERISA lawyer Christine Matott.
