David Azcue, Co-Head of Simpson Thacher’s Private Funds Practice in Japan, was quoted extensively in an Asian Legal Business article titled, “Private Equity: New Dawn.” The article discussed Japan’s emergence as the latest hotspot for private equity investment in Asia and further detailed the 2024 outlook for Japan’s private equity market, which appears to be on continued positive trajectory.
