Nicolas Karmin, partner in S&C’s Paris office, and senior associate Pauline Le Faou, co-authored the “Trends and Developments” chapter of the 2025 Edition of Chambers Corporate Private Equity Guide: France, analyzing recent trends and developments in France.
The chapter offers perspective into the factors faced by the global and European PE markets over the past few quarters. In spite of the ongoing political instability and the persistently sluggish economic environment, the authors note that “the PE sector in France shows signs of resilience.”
“France boasts a large number of leading international and domestic private equity firms, a balanced fundraising environment and French private equity investments have annually outperformed all other main investment classes over a ten-year spread.”
