"McDermott Will & Schulte Advises Sagard on Merger with Unigestion to Create Global Mid-Market Private Equity Leader"

"McDermott Will & Schulte is advising Sagard, a global alternative asset manager, on its merger with Unigestion, a European private equity firm focused on the mid-market. This merger aims to establish a leading global player in mid-market private equity, with Sagard managing approximately $44 billion in assets post-transaction. Unigestion's non-private equity activities will not be included in the deal, and Sagard's other private equity operations in Paris and Canada will remain independent. The transaction is expected to close in early 2026, pending regulatory approval."
