Interlaw’s French Firm Advises on CAPZA Transition’s Acquisition of a Stake in the Gainerie 91 Group
UGGC Avocats, Interlaw’s partner firm in France, has advised CAPZA, a leading European player in financing and private equity for SMEs and SMIs and its CAPZA Transition SLP fund, on its acquisition of a stake in the Gainerie 91 group, a world leader in the luxury packaging and merchandising segment.
The UGGC Avocats team that supported the CAPZA Transition SLP fund included partner, Ali Bougrine, counsels Louis-Romain Riché and Muriel Bernardin and associate Victor Arnould on corporate matters and partner Olivier Moriceau on financing and partner Laetitia Squercioni and associate Anaïs Pereira Luis on tax matters.
The aim of this Leverage Buy-Out (LBO) transaction is for the managing partner of the Gainerie 91 group, Mr Arnaud Häfelin, to retain the majority of the group’s capital, while relying on the partnership with CAPZA Transition SLP to pursue its organic development and make targeted, strategic acquisitions to fuel the growth of the Gainerie 91 group.
