The global health crisis related to the outbreak of COVID-19, and the resulting business downturn and uncertainty are creating unprecedented business, financial and legal challenges, including for private equity funds and their portfolio companies. Fund sponsors and their portfolio company management teams are facing crisis management scenarios that are far beyond those they have faced in the past. As a result, preparation is key.

In response, Baker Botts has prepared a comprehensive guide intended to provide private equity professionals with a resource regarding many areas in which we have seen the effects of COVID-19 impact funds and portfolio companies, including issues related to labor/employment, tax matters, working remotely and related data privacy and security issues, M&A and capital raising and deployment.
