Private Dinner: Legal, Finance & Ops Leaders of PE-backed Companies
Talk operations, deals, add-ons and everything in between over a private dinner with senior leaders of PE-backed companies.
Join us for good food and an honest conversation with the people behind the legal, financial and operational decisions in PE-backed companies. Hosted by Leon Johnson, former partner at Goodwin and Kirkland & Ellis, this dinner brings together a small group of leaders to compare notes on the challenges that rarely have a clean playbook: legal spend, contract standards, integrating add-ons, multi-state compliance and staying diligence-ready.

About the host
Leon Johnson spent his career as a partner at Goodwin and Kirkland & Ellis, advising private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies through acquisitions, add-ons and exits. He now leads US legal services at Omnilex, an AI-native law firm that handles the ongoing legal work of growing companies, from commercial contracts to employment and compliance, faster and at a fraction of the cost of traditional firms.
The conversation is held under the Chatham House rule. The dinner and 1:1 check-ups give general information, not legal advice, and attending does not create an attorney-client relationship.
