Keystone Law advises senior managers of Eckoh plc on £169 million acquisition by Bridgepoint

Keystone Law has advised certain senior managers in connection with the recommended £169m acquisition of Eckoh plc by funds managed by Bridgepoint Advisers II Limited through Eagle UK Bidco Limited by way of a scheme of arrangement. The transaction is expected to complete early 2025, subject to regulatory approvals.

Led by Private Equity partner Matthew Kichenside, the Keystone team included Corporate partner Simon Holden and Tax partner Sam Coleman.

Matthew said:

“This transaction highlights how the appetite to find value-creation opportunities is resulting in greater interest in publicly listed assets from private capital funds. It was a great opportunity to showcase Keystone’s ability to support management teams on these deals alongside some of the key players in the market.”
