In “Akin Gump promotes secondaries lawyer to partner Amanda Butler-Jones,” Secondaries Investor, a publication covering the world’s secondaries markets across the alternative asset classes, spotlighted the January 1 promotion of Amanda Butler-Jones, a new partner in Akin Gump’s investment management practice.
The article discusses Butler-Jones’ “leading role” at the firm in its relationship with the secondaries and liquidity solutions group of a large asset manager, as well as her practice in general.
SI then goes on to note Akin Gump’s 2022 secondaries transactions, including representation of Mubadala Capital in a $3 billion stapled secondaries deal that involved closing on four simultaneous transactions. The article also notes that the firm advised on $24 billion in deals between November 2020 and October 2021, evenly divided across buyout, growth and credit, and advised on 31 GP-led deals.
Butler-Jones was named in 2022 by the National Bar Association as a member of its 2022-2023 class of Top 40 Under 40 – Nation’s Best Advocates (learn more here).
