International law firm Simmons & Simmons has advised Liberty Corporate Finance – a leading management advisory firm that supports teams on private equity deals – on its acquisition by leading UK accountancy firm Cooper Parry.
Liberty advises management teams across a multitude of sectors, deal sizes and geographies. With offices in London, Madrid, Munich, Stockholm and Sydney, it has assisted over 750 management teams, working with more than 150 private equity houses with a combined transaction value of over £200bn.
Its acquisition by Cooper Parry – one of the UK’s fastest growing firms – will allow Liberty to accelerate its growth trajectory, broadening its capabilities and global market reach.
Simmons’ private equity team advised Liberty on their acquisition – led by partner Tim Hewens co-head of the firm’s international Private Equity Cross-Border Group.
Tim Hewens commented: “It was a genuine pleasure to work again with the Liberty team and great to watch them negotiate and execute their own transaction. I am sure the combined business will go from strength to strength and look forward to working together again supporting management teams navigate private equity deals.”
