Weil advised JLL Partners, a New York-based middle market private equity firm focused on investing in the healthcare, industrials and business services sectors, in the final close of JLL Partners Fund IX, L.P. with approximately $1.4 billion in equity commitments. The fund’s capital raised meaningfully exceeded its target, as well as the size of its predecessor fund, which was approximately $866 million.

The Fund received strong support from an investor base comprised of both longstanding and new limited partners spanning the institutional spectrum. Fund IX builds on the Firm’s long-tenured strategy of identifying durable themes within its core industries, partnering with exceptional management teams, and acquiring middle-market companies with the potential to become market leaders in partnership with JLL.

The Weil team was led by Private Funds Co-Head Andrew Chizzik and partners Cassie Kimmelman and Brittany Burnham and included Private Funds partner Christopher Scully and associates David Tessler, Stephen Filocoma, Cameron Dorais and Matthew Trabold; and Tax partner Andrew Morris and associates Jay Perry, Courtney Baltz (Not Yet Admitted in Washington, D.C.) and Drew Coleman.
