Naxicap Partners Announces Final Closing of Naxicap Investment Opportunities III
*
The Paris Private Investment Funds team advised Naxicap Partners, a leading French private equity firm, on the fundraising of its third-generation mid-cap investment fund, Naxicap Investment Opportunities III ("NIO III").
The NIO III platform comprises EUR2.5 billion of commitments. This includes EUR808 million of commitments for the NIO III Flagship Fund, alongside continuation vehicles andother bespoke structures, all of which are designed to provide the firm with the flexible long-term capital necessary to support the ambitious growth of its portfolio companies. These additional commitments demonstrate Naxicap Partners' capabilities in meeting investors' expectations through proven, tailored investment solutions.
The fundraising benefited from strong support from long-standing existing investors, including insurance companies, pension funds, funds of funds, and family offices. In addition to securing commitments from France, continental Europe, and the UK, the firm received strong backing from a major Asian insurance company, which significantly reinforces and further internationalizes its investor base.
Reflecting the firm's investment capabilities, the NIO III platform has already deployed over EUR1.5 billion across 20 high-quality assets and is currently 62% invested. Naxicap's ability to create value is illustrated by a diversified portfolio across key sectors, including B2B services, technology, financial services, and healthcare.
The Goodwin team advising Naxicap Partners was led by Sarah Michel, Maxime Hemled, and Anabelle Cornillon on fund formation matters, and Marie-Laure Bruneel and Paul Fourniere on tax matters.

Jason Meyer, a partner in BCLP's Intellectual Property and Technology Disputes Practice, recently spoke with MLex about the model jury instructions for DTSA cases which were recently published by The Sedona Conference.
In the article, Jason discusses how the model instructions are likely to bring the parties closer together on at least some legal questions -and how that alignment creates conditionsfor settlement. Jason also makes the point that even where the instructions stop short of resolving doctrinal splits, they still meaningfully narrow the range of possibilities and should lead to greater efficiencies in trade secret litigation.
Jason has substantial litigation experience, including in patent and trademark, trade secrets, and employee non-compete matters. He has represented various commercial clients across the country in a wide array of federal and state lawsuits.

"That matches my own approach, and I am excited to contribute to the work the team does for clients navigating difficult situations."
Mr. Hall, Mr. Helt, Ms. Green and Mr. Haake are among 45 lateral partners the firm has welcomed this year, consistent with Dechert's strategic goal of strengthening capabilities across its steeples of excellence, including litigation, investment management, finance and restructuring, capital markets and securitization, and mergers and acquisitions.
