Davis Polk partner Bill Chudd was profiled by Financier Worldwide as part of the publication’s 2026 “Power Players: Private Equity” issue. In the Q&A, Bill discusses the philosophies that guide his work, ways to build strong relationships with clients and his predictions for how AI will shape the market.

“Capital is increasingly flowing either to large-scale funds or to highly specialized managers, putting pressure on mid-sized generalist firms. As PE clients evolve in response, their legal advisers will need to evolve as well,” Bill explained.
