Our lawyers provided legal support to Sescom S.A. in its acquisition, through a subsidiary, of a 100% stake in the English company PCB Technical Solutions Limited.
Our brief included coordination of the due diligence of PCB Technical Solutions, negotiation of the transaction documentation (governed by English law), and work on additional documents regulating the target company’s operations subsequent to its takeover by Sescom. Apart from that, we drew up and negotiated the credit facility documentation pursuant to which Sescom obtained financing for this acquisition, including collateral documents governed by English law.
