Kirkland Advises Inflexion on £975 Million Inflexion Enterprise Fund VI

Kirkland & Ellis advised Inflexion on the formation of Inflexion Enterprise Fund VI, which recently held its final closing at its £975 million hard cap. The fund was raised in less than five months and follows its successful £400 million predecessor fund.

Focused on the lower mid-market, the fund follows the same successful strategy employed by Inflexion for over 25 years, backing high growth, entrepreneurial businesses with ambitious management teams and working in partnership with them to accelerate growth. Enterprise Fund VI was raised almost exclusively from Inflexion’s existing investor base of blue-chip institutions from across U.S., Europe, Asia and the Middle East, with investors on average more than doubling their commitment versus the previous vintage.

The Kirkland team was led by investment funds partners Amala Ejikeme and Richard Watkins and included associates Oliver Cutbill, Hannah Wilson, Alfie Ashton, Chanel Yusuf-Bishop and Rianna Gohil. The team also included tax partners Alexander Cox, Ian Ferreira, Lee Morlock, Loviisa Langdon and Gal Shemer and associates Ted Meddick-Dyson, Rhianna Voice and Grant Newman; investment funds partner Joshua Westerholm and associate Peter Gauss; financial services regulatory partner Prem Mohan and associate Christopher Hsu; and debt finance partners Susannah Amini and George Dyesmith.
