Hogan Lovells advises HF Private Debt on successful exit from ENTRO Service GmbH

Press releases | 08 October 2025

Global law firm Hogan Lovells has advised HF Private Debt on the financing of the management buy-out of ENTRO Service GmbH last year and on the recent successful exit of its investment following the acquisition of ENTRO by private equity firm Levine Leichtman Capital Partners, LLC.

Only twelve months ago, funds advised by HF Debt had financed ENTRO's management team’s MBO and buy-and-build journey, backing a bold vision and entrepreneurial spirit. The recent investment by Levine Leichtman Capital Partners represents a major strategic milestone for ENTRO and highlights the company’s strong growth trajectory since HF Private Debt’s initial involvement.

Hogan Lovells provided comprehensive legal advice to HF Private Debt throughout the entire investment lifecycle, covering both the debt and equity components.
