International law firm Bird & Bird acted as legal advisor to the shareholders of Septor, a leading supplier to the Nordic maritime industry, in connection with the sale of 100% of the shares in Septor to Swedish Hasko Invest, a Swedish strategic private equity investor.
Our multidisciplinary team provided comprehensive legal support across all aspects of this strategic transaction, showcasing Bird & Bird's capability to deliver integrated legal solutions on cross-border M&A transactions that require seamless coordination between multiple practice areas and sophisticated deal structuring to accommodate reinvestment arrangements.
In the words of sellers Mårten Bärlund and Fredrik Björklöf: “It was a pleasure to work with Bird & Bird on this project as we received reliable advice on market standards and agreement wordings both for the exit and the reinvestment, as well as excellent negotiation support, enabling us to close the transaction with full peace of mind”.
