Kirkland Advises Inflexion on €4.5 Billion Inflexion Buyout Fund VII

Kirkland & Ellis advised Inflexion on the formation of Inflexion Buyout Fund VII, which recently held its final closing at its hard cap of €4.5 billion after six months in the market, surpassing its initial target of €3.75 billion. The fund exceeds its predecessor, Inflexion Buyout Fund VI, which closed at £2.5 billion in 2022. 

The fund was heavily oversubscribed with demand from a globally diverse range of leading institutional investors and will continue Inflexion’s strategy of acquiring majority stakes in high-growth, high-margin, mid-market companies led by ambitious management teams.
