Corporate team advises on almost £3bn of deals in first half of year
Squire Patton Boggs’ Leeds corporate team has led on 35 transactions totalling almost £3bn during the first half of 2024.
Headline deals included advising LDC on its investment in The 55 Group, advising the management team and shareholders on the investment in Portakabin by Antin Infrastructure Partners, advising Animalcare Group plc on the sale of Identicare Limited, advising the management team and shareholders on the investment in SmartSearch by Triple Private Equity.
The team also advised BGF on its investments in Boxphish, Tevalis and TaperedPlus.
“We have had an excellent first half of the year, which is all the more remarkable as it has been achieved during a period of political and economic uncertainty,” said partner David Milne. “Now we have some clarity around the new government’s investment plans, there is optimism about the UK’s return to growth and we are looking ahead to an even better end of the year, with a strong pipeline of deals.”
Partner Mae Salem added: “Activity has continued strongly in areas such as healthcare, business and financial services and tech and, of course, the drive to net zero is creating significant growth opportunities across an array of businesses that are proving attractive to the private equity community.”
