Burghclere’s Strategic Acquisition of Voltility Group

Teacher Stern advised Burghclere Limited on its acquisition, through one of its subsidiaries, of a majority interest in Voltility Group Limited.

The acquisition forms part of Burghclere’s strategy of investing in exceptional data-driven businesses and represents another important step in the company’s growth journey.

The challenge

With an ambitious target completion date of 4 weeks from signing heads of terms, our role initially focused on conducting detailed legal due diligence to identify risks, opportunities, and key issues requiring attention before completion of the transaction. Simultaneously with that to ensure that the target completion date was achieved, the transaction required close coordination between multiple parties and advisers to maintain momentum and achieve commercial objectives.

Our approach

Working to a compressed timetable, our multidisciplinary team provided coordinated advice across a range of practice areas including corporate, commercial, employment, real estate and tax.

The result

By working collaboratively across practice areas and maintaining focus on the client’s commercial objectives, we helped deliver a successful outcome within a demanding timeframe.

The transaction enables Burghclere to further expand its investment portfolio and supports its ongoing mission to back high-quality, data-led businesses.
