Esther Nzenza, CEO and Founder of Decisive Consulting, said: “The Birketts team provided brilliant support and guidance throughout our transaction, taking time to explain every decision with care and working through all questions and challenges with diligence and precision.
“The partnership between the different advisers involved in our deal was first rate and enabled us to focus on maintaining business momentum – exactly where our focus needed to be.
Adam and his team were energised, professional and absolutely committed to our shared success. It was a pleasure working with Birketts.”
Adam Jones, Head of Private Equity at Birketts, added: “We are proud to have led the legal advisory for the sellers on this complex cross-border transaction. The deal required careful navigation of both international and private equity structures, and showcased our team’s deep expertise in M&A. This transaction highlights our strength in advising on multi-jurisdictional private equity-influenced deals.”
Birketts worked closely with the Corporate Finance team at Grant Thornton, which included Doug Bentley, Abi Godfrey, Katy Jacks and Bijal Thakrar.
