Adds Additional Depth to Firm’s Secondaries Platform
LONDON, March 17, 2025 – Leading international law firm Proskauer today welcomed secondaries specialist Delphine Jaugey as a partner in its Private Funds Group. Based in London, Delphine brings nearly two decades of experience representing clients in the UK, Europe, the U.S. and Asia.
“Delphine is highly regarded in the secondaries market and has many years of experience advising some of the leading players on complex and innovative secondary transactions and structures. She will add additional strength to our preeminent secondaries practice as well as our broader private funds platform both within London and in the Paris market, offering significant opportunities as we continue to grow,” said Nigel van Zyl, co鈥慼ead of the Firm’s Private Funds Group. “I am thrilled to welcome her to Proskauer and look forward to working closely with her.”
Delphine advises secondaries investors on all types of GP-led and LP-led secondary transactions and liquidity solutions, including LP portfolio sales, continuation funds, preferred equity transactions, GP-led LP tender offers, strip sales, stapled transactions, late-stage investments, spin-outs backed by secondaries investors and bespoke liquidity solutions. She also acts for sponsors and investors on matters including private fund formation, co-investments, carried interest arrangements and internal reorganizations.
“The secondaries market continues to evolve at an extraordinary pace, and Delphine’s arrival will ensure clients continue to turn to Proskauer to navigate this dynamic landscape,” said Bruno Bertrand-Delfau, co-head of the Secondary Transactions and Liquidity Solutions practice. “She brings a wealth of experience in structuring some of the most sophisticated transactions in the industry which will be invaluable as we support clients in seizing new opportunities and addressing emerging challenges.”
“The growth of Proskauer’s secondaries platform and its wider funds practice over the past few years has been highly impressive. My proven track record, market knowledge and client relationships will complement its best-in-class secondaries offering and I am excited to see what we can achieve together,” said Delphine.
