Two firms have advised on the sale of Australasia-based TSC Group to a French multinational energy services company.

Firms: Herbert Smith Freehills (Allegro Funds); Minter Ellison (GDF Suez)
Value: Undisclosed
Area: M&A
Key Players: The Herbert Smith Freehills team was led by partner Mark Currell, supported by senior associate Jacob Kahwaji.
Deal Significance: TSC Group comprises Triology Building Services, Spectrum Fire & Security and Cowley Services.
