Experience

- Advising a client on its acquisition of a UK-based fashion and accessories retailer. The transaction included the sale of the brands and intellectual property, the head office and design teams, the group’s distribution centre, as well as the transfer of around 450 jobs. The transaction involved significant analysis in relation to the application of TUPE and the risks in relation to a TUPE transfer.
