Winston Serves as Lead Counsel to GCP Capital Partners in New Continuation Vehicle
Winston & Strawn served as legal counsel to GCP Capital Partners (GCP) in connection with the formation and closing of a single-asset continuation vehicle involving ALKEME Insurance. Led by the PE and Funds Group practices, the team advised GCP throughout the transaction which included substantial newly committed capital to fund portfolio company ALKEME’s continued growth (the single asset). The fund raise was backed by a syndicate of institutional investors where Apollo S3 served as the lead investor. The deal signals a growing trend: the strategic use of continuation vehicles to extend sponsors’ ownership in high-performing portfolio companies. This deal also reflects a broader narrative in middle-market private equity: firms that started small are now scaling rapidly, and they’re turning to sophisticated liquidity solutions to fuel that growth.

ESG in finance can refer to, among other things, financing tools such as Green, Social, and Sustainability Bonds and similar ESG-related debt instruments, as well as the separate discipline of ESG Investing. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Investors are increasingly applying these non-financial factors as part of their analysis to identify ESG-related risks and opportunities in particular investments. ESG metrics have not historically been included in financial reporting, though companies are increasingly making disclosures in their annual report or in a standalone sustainability report, and regulatory requirements for such disclosures, including from the SEC, are expanding.
