LA Midmarket - Gores, Levine Leichtman

Hi Everyone,

Curious if anyone has experience working with or knows people at Levine Leichtman or the Gores Group, both in LA. Most of the threads on WSO around them date back a few years, and wonder if anything has changed. LLCP just raised a $2.5B fund in January (prior fund of $1.6B), and has looked fairly active in the last two years in terms of acquisitions. Gores raised a SPAC with Dean Metropoulos at the end of 2018.

Any information yall have heard regarding fund direction/performance and associate life would be extremely helpful. Thanks!
