Jones Day‘s ’client centric’ private equity team leverages its international network to advise clients in both domestic and cross border deals, also offering an active venture capital practice and increasing leveraged finance expertise. Thomas De Muynck, ‘an outstanding professional' who is dual qualified in New York, heads the team and is experienced in advising US and EU funds in Belgian transactions. Jonas Van Den Bossche is a go-to for high profile PE buyouts. The practice was further strengthened by the addition of Pierre-Olivier Mahieu from A&O Shearman in January 2025.
