Dechert Advises Lovell Minnick Partners on Strategic Investment in Valor PayTech

Dechert recently advised funds managed by Lovell Minnick Partners (LMP), a private equity firm focused on investments in financial services, business services, and financial technology companies, on a strategic investment in Valor PayTech (Valor).

Valor PayTech, founded in 2020, is a fast-growing provider of point-of-sale software and payment technology serving nearly 300,000 merchants. LMP's investment marks Valor's first institutional capital raise and will help accelerate the company's innovation, scale its operations and pursue strategic growth opportunities alongside its existing leadership team.

The core Dechert team that advised LMP included corporate partners Brian C. Miner and Stephanie L. Haas and associate Quinn Wetherall. The broader team included corporate associates Anjanaye Jariwala, Rodrigo Rivera and Sam Levinson; global finance partner Alon Goldberger; tax partner Joshua Milgrim and associate Abigail Hopper; employee benefits partner Kevin Kay and associate Tabitha Crosier; and antitrust counsels Beverly Ang and William Kearney.

Dechert also recently advised LMP on a separate transaction, in which funds managed by LMP acquired a majority stake in Merchant Industry.
