As the PE dealmaking environment heated up in the past decade, limited partners (LPs) have sought to gain even more exposure to the asset class. Simultaneously, general partners (GPs) at PE firms have begun to band together more than ever. Drawing on PitchBook datasets, Troutman Pepper explored these trends in depth in its latest report, reviewing the implications of these developments, and how they intertwine. Troutman Pepper and Marcum LLP hosted a roundtable to discuss these latest co-investment findings. John F. Heilmann, partner with Marcum LLP, and Jeffrey Armbrister, managing director and the global head of direct equity investments for Hamilton Lane, joined our panel for the Philadelphia roundtable.
In clip one, Troutman Pepper Partner Daniel W. McDonough moderates our first panel, featuring fellow Partners Bruce K. Fenton, P. Thao Le, and Marcum LLP Partner John F. Heilmann. The panel examines the current state of the co-investment market, including information gleaned from our latest report with PitchBook, and draws comparisons to a previous survey we conducted with Mergermarket on co-investments in 2015.
Clip two contains conversational highlights between Troutman Pepper Partner James B. Jumper with Jeffrey Armbrister, managing director and the global head of direct equity investments for Hamilton Lane. Jay and Jeff discuss Hamilton Lane’s thoughts on co-investments, including how to work with general partners when no prior relationship exists.
Clip three features a panel moderated by Troutman Pepper Partner Jeremy I. Levy where he discussed the future of co-investing with Jeffrey Armbrister, managing director and the global head of direct equity investments for Hamilton Lane, Marcum LLP Partner John F.

Effective eDiscovery can help clients reach their goals sooner and most cost-effectively. Alternatively, reactive eDiscovery, or ignoring the unique legal and technical considerations involved in modern litigation, can lead to increased expenses, potential sanctions, and prolonged disputes about these issues.
Our panel will walk through the discovery aspects of a sample case from start to finish – highlighting common pitfalls, resources, rules, and cases that can help get you ready for effectively managing eDiscovery.

California was the first state to enact a comprehensive state privacy bill with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA). Although the CCPA went into effect on January 1, 2020, it was significantly overhauled during California’s November 2020 General Election, when the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA or the Act) was adopted.
Over the last few weeks, the Troutman Pepper Cybersecurity, Information Governance, and Privacy team produced a five-part series that provided a detailed overview of the CPRA and how it compares to its predecessor – the CCPA. During this webinar, we will summarize the series and discuss the major action items companies have to start implementing now to be prepared by January 1, 2023, the CPRA effective date. Key topics will include:
- Consumer Rights
- Notice and Disclosure Obligations
- Data Processing Obligations
- Litigation and Enforcement
At the conclusion of the series, Troutman Pepper will host a webinar on the CPRA on Thursday, May 26, 2022. To register, please click here.

The CFPB’s recent announcement that it will now be examining non-credit products, services, and processes for discrimination under the Bureau’s UDAAP authority raises the question of how financial services companies should go about testing various aspects of their operations for potential discrimination. In this webinar, we are joined by noted fair lending economist Arthur Baines from Charles River Associates to discuss the potential opportunities for fair lending-style testing in non-credit products, services, and processes.
We will also highlight the dangers of performing testing that may not be capable of capturing the key reasons for certain decisions and actions a financial services company may engage in, and how to address anti-discrimination considerations when controlled testing is not available as an option.
