European law firm Fieldfisher has advised Birmingham-based Opus Safety on securing growth funding to support its continued expansion.
Tom Baverstock, John Southall (CEO) and Ian Hatherly (L-R).
Opus Safety is a technology-enabled provider of health and safety, HR, and occupational health solutions, working with a wide range of SMEs to deliver digitised compliance services. The company has received a minority investment from growth capital investor BGF and new debt facilities to fund further acquisitions from digital bank OakNorth.
The funding will enable Opus to accelerate its growth strategy and further enhance its offering to clients across the UK, helping more SMEs access streamlined and effective safety solutions.
Fieldfisher advised Opus on the transaction, with the team led by Partner Andrew Lawton Smith and Senior Associate Alex Morris. This marks the fourth transaction Fieldfisher has supported for Opus, providing comprehensive legal advice across multiple practice areas.
Andrew Lawton Smith commented: “We’re delighted to have supported Opus Safety once again as they continue to scale their business. This investment marks an exciting chapter in their journey, and we look forward to seeing their continued success.”
This deal highlights Fieldfisher’s ongoing commitment to supporting high-growth, tech-enabled businesses.
In addition to supporting Opus on four acquisitions since its launch in 2022, Fieldfisher has also advised innovative medical technology developer, Adtec Healthcare, on its $12 million funding round, Swedish listed investment business, Vestum, on its acquisition of Nortech Management Holdings and Astral Tech CEO Jeremy Thomas on the sale of the global tech company to IMServ, a trusted leader in metering and data services for UK energy suppliers.
The team's experience in this space enables Fieldfisher to provide strategic, commercially focused legal support that helps clients scale with confidence. To explore more of our recent work in this area, visit our corporate deals page.
