This transaction was firmly in MJ Hudson’s sweet spot, combining M&A expertise with expert knowledge of fund structures. We were delighted to support Pacific Current Group on its investment into Astarte.

Andrew Mills, MJ Hudson Partner, Project Lead

We had a great experience with MJ Hudson. The team was highly responsive, exhibited an appropriate blend of confidence and humility, and provided complementary expertise in respect of fund structuring and corporate transactions. I look forward to working with the team again on future deals.

Background

MJ Hudson advised Pacific Current Group on the acquisition of a significant minority stake in Astarte Capital Partners LLP, and related vehicles. The law team advised on legal aspects of the acquisition while the regulatory solutions team assisted Pacific Current Group with the FCA change of control application.

Our approach

The transaction is a prime example of MJ Hudson Law’s M&A and investment funds teams working together. In particular, the due diligence process required detailed reviews of Astarte’s existing fund relationships and economic flows, and amendments to key fund-related documents to provide for Pacific Current Group’s admission, combined with sale and purchase documentation and a typical “M&A” transaction structure and closing process.
