Private Equity partner Bob Rivollier will moderate a panel titled “Exits: an evolving landscape.” The panel will focus on the unique approaches PE firms are taking to navigate the evolving exit market, whether GPs are under pressure to sell, and what the exit market will look like throughout the remainder of 2023.
