Firm: Allens (JANA)
Area: Corporate; merger and acquisition; banking and finance
Value: N/A
Key players: The Allens team was led by partners Jessica Choong and Ben O’Hoy, who was supported by associates Karla Hodgson and Yoni Baker.
Deal significance: Speaking about the deal, Ms Choong said: “It’s been our privilege to support JANA’s management team on its acquisition of the remaining interest in the business, and to have seen the growth and success of the business since our involvement in the initial management buyout.”
Mr O’Hoy added: “The private capital landscape has evolved significantly since JANA’s 2017 buyout, with private capital becoming an increasingly influential force in our investment markets. We look forward to seeing JANA continue to go from strength to strength in this new era for the business.”
