JLL Partners is a middle market private equity firm with over three decades of experience transforming businesses in the healthcare, industrials, and business services sectors. The firm is dedicated to partnering with companies that it can help build into market leaders through a combination of strategic mergers and acquisitions, organic growth initiatives, and operational enhancements. The JLL Partners team is comprised of seasoned investment professionals and operating partners who are focused on driving long-term value creation across its portfolio. Since its founding in 1988, JLL Partners has committed over $5.8 billion of equity capital across eight private equity funds, with over 50 platform investments and more than 210 add-on acquisitions.

Why do prospects want to do business with the firm?
JLL’s mission is to elevate its portfolio companies to be market leaders delivering superior value to all its partners – including employees, customers, suppliers, management teams, shareholders, limited partners and advisors. The Firm’s core tenets include open and honest communication, ethical and inclusive engagement, and ensuring the best ideas are always promoted. JLL takes great pride and care that all its partners are fully aligned to achieve their shared goals and provide the resources and support for our companies to grow and thrive long-term. JLL is hands-on partner, with a patient and long-term approach to value creation. To every new investment, JLL brings over 30 years of sector specialization. JLL leverages longstanding industry relationships and executive partnerships to ensure key growth initiatives are achieved. An active acquisition strategy is core part of every JLL investment, and the Firm looks to accelerate portfolio company growth with targeted strategic acquisitions ranging from small, tuck-ins to complex, corporate carve-outs. Additionally, JLL provides its companies with a long-term framework for integrating new businesses, with а focus on business continuity and preserving corporate culture as organizations are merged and companies’ scale. A hallmark of JLL’s operating philosophy has always been recognizing that unexpected circumstances are the rule rather than the exception and knowing how to work through unforeseen challenges efficiently and effectively when they arise. JLL not only provides its partners a capital commitment at the outset of an investment; the Firm provides support throughout the life of an investment – both in terms of additional equity capital as needed and by consistently delivering debt terms that yield maximum flexibility and optionality.
Why do intermediaries present opportunities and want to conduct transactions with the firm?
Given JLL’s long history and the fact that all of the Firm’s senior investment team members have been at the Firm for over a decade (if not significantly longer), JLL has wide array long-standing relationships with intermediaries in each of its core sectors. JLL is focused on consistently nurturing intermediary relationships and aims to provide timely, forthright feedback when opportunities are presented and to be efficient throughout diligence and closing processes.
