Cinven was advised by Hengeler Mueller in connection with the disposal and by Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in relation to debt financing matters and general legal advice.

Hengeler Mueller Team: Partners Peter Weyland, Georg A. Frowein (both M&A), Alf-Henrik Bischke (Competition) and Dirk Uwer (Regulatory) as well as associates Harald Voigts, Lars Ferenc Freytag, Boris Kasten and Nikolas Hübschen.
