Private Equity Investing

At Park Lane, we have assembled a wealth of contacts in private equity that have displayed a keen interest in the sports industry. Our relationships with prestigious PE firms enable us to offer our clients another important form of equity financing. Most often, private equity investments in sports teams and leagues are minority stake investments, with which our professionals are considerably experienced. Sports-based businesses also interact frequently with private equity firms via leveraged buyouts, a type of acquisition relying heavily on debt as a financial medium. Park Lane can act as the middleman offering M&A advisory to sports industry clients in LBO deals.
