S14EP1: EDF Taps Apollo for £4.5bn Hinkley Point C Loan Facility; Law Firms Look to Private Equity Sponsors for Investment; and Domestic Equities Lose Ground with UK Pension Funds

In this episode of The Firm Analyst, we examine Apollo’s £4.5bn loan to support the Hinkley Point C nuclear project and its significance for private credit in large-scale infrastructure. We also explore the growing interest in external investment within the legal sector, as firms consider private equity funding to support strategic growth and innovation. Lastly, we reflect on the continued decline in British equity allocations by UK pension providers and the broader implications for domestic capital markets and commercial law firms at large.
