Birketts, a UK Top 50 law firm, has supported Boskalis/Gardline on its sale of C.A. Design Services to technology investor, Tern Capital.
With offices in Great Yarmouth, Leeds, Wolverhampton and Edinburgh, C.A. Design Services Limited is a leader in retail space planning, space planning software, measured site surveys architectural and branding design, and retail delivery services.
The sale of C.A. Design Services is the final non-core asset to have been divested from the Gardline group, enabling Gardline to focus on its core subsea surveillance business. Following the sale, Guy Moates and Aaron Wright will continue to run C.A. Design Services together with the rest of the firm’s management team.
The Birketts team was led by Ed Savory (Partner, Corporate) and supported by Sam Varney (Solicitor, Corporate), Leanna Romano (Paralegal, Corporate), Karl Pocock (Partner and Head of Corporate Tax), Robbie Watson (Associate, Corporate Tax), Stacy Aspden (Legal Director, Commercial Property), Sam Greenhalgh (Partner, Employment) and Ben Lewins (Solicitor, Employment). Scott Lindsay from M&A Partners advised on corporate finance.
On the transaction, Ed Savory, commented: “It has been a pleasure working with Boskalis / Gardline on this transaction concluding a series of disposals of non-core assets since Gardline was acquired by Boskalis back in August 2017. As always, we enjoyed working alongside Cees Visser (Boskalis), Lindsey Crockett (Gardline) and Scott Lindsay (M+A Partners). Under the guidance of Tern Capital, C.A. Design Services will continue to build on its leading position in the market, and we wish Guy, Aaron and the team the best of luck for the future.”
