Fieldfisher advises Luxempart on its acquisition of a stake in Evariste

  Fieldfisher advised Luxempart, an investment company listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, in its acquisition of a significant stake in Evariste, a leading French multi-service provider, mainly for local authorities.
Luxempart takes over from Montefiore Investment, a shareholder since 2014 alongside Evariste's founder, who will continue to control the group's capital.

With a cross-practice team involving lawyers from the Corporate, Tax and Banking & Finance departments, Fieldfisher advised Luxempart at all stages of its investment in Evariste.

Philippe Netto, partner in charge of the matter, and Daniel Da Cruz Rodrigues, associate, were involved from the audit to the negotiation of the acquisition documentation and assisted Luxempart until the closing on November 9, 2021. They were supported by:

• Antoine Gabizon, partner and Cédric Pavao, associate for the tax aspects
• Hélène Lefebvre, partner and Charles Abitbol, associate for banking and financial aspects.

Philippe Netto, head of the Corporate, M&A and Private Equity department, comments: "We are delighted to advise Luxempart for their latest investment in France. This transaction demonstrates once again our ability to mobilize multi-disciplinary teams to assist our clients in their strategic transactions".
